Have anyone here used Nexavar for liver cancer? My dad has been on Nexavar for 7 weeks now, but instead of diarrhea, he has constipation and abdominal pain. Has anyone suffered the same problems besides loss of appetite and fatigue?
My brother has been on Nexavar for a little over 6 weeks now with a week break after being treated for severe anemia, extreme fatigue and loss of appetite. After blood transfusions and a hospital stay, he has resumed taking the drug, with occasional diarrhea, controlled by Immodium D, and an emetic that has helped appetite. He also took Megace for a few days to help appetite. He has had abdominal pain the past couple of days but it is so difficult to know what the pain is due to--cancer itself, Nexavar, combination, other? But so far he seems to be tolerating the Nexavar pretty well and we pray that it is working.
Thanks for sharing your experience and asking the question.
