In 1999 I had my left kidney removed due to a Renal Cell Tumor. It was contained and no further treatment recommended. Last month I had 2 very small RCC tumors removed from my pancreas (secondary cancer which spread from Kidney). These tumors are very slow growing and scans show no other tumors in any other organs. Doctors are recommending I start Sutent, but am reluctant since based on what I have read Sutent seems to work by reducing growth of existing tumors (which I currently do not have) and also side effects seem quite difficult. Any thoughts?
