My mom finished her first dose of Torisel yesterday. She was fine afterwards and even went home and cooked dinner. This morning she was sick three times. Not sure if it was the medication. Anyone else on Torisel or know about about the success rate of it? She's diabetic and also has heart problems. The cancer is just on her kidney but they won't remove it. The doctor keeps saying that it's pretty big, but he's never told us how big....even though we've asked a couple of times. I've tried to get her to get a second opinion, but she trusts the doctors, even though they lost her records; and the doctor that removed her cancer the first time never even called her back to discuss that the cancer had come back, he just had his nurse call her and give her the oncologists number. Didn't even tell her why she needed an oncologist. He told her several months ago that the cancer cells had showed up in her urine, then they hadn't, then they had, then they hadn't. Now she has a huge tumor on her kidney?
Sorry, I was probably rambling, but I feel so frustrated with all of her doctors at the moment and I just needed to vent.
