Deb -
Sorry to hear about your new battle. Sutent is a very new drug and has been out for about one year. The website www.sutent.com has all of the information on it about Sutent. Also www.chemocare.com has alot of information regarding side effects. It is a very expensive drug but my mom's insurance covers it. She gets multiple side effects such as mouth/hand sores, many bloody noses, congestion, headaches and fatigue. It is given 28 days on and 2 days off via a 50 mg pill. She is in her 2nd round right now and very tired this last week of it. There are variations on the way it can be taken and a doctor can help you with that. On the kidney cancer association website there is also more info about the drug and its effectiveness. Good luck and let me know if there is more information I can help you with. God Bless.
