i have my operation for full right nyprectomy with no other metastasis on other organ last march 2007 but my obcologist prescibe me sutent. At first my dosage was for 50mg ( taking only two cycles was too stroong for me ) then was lowered to 37.5. I am now on my last week of the six cycle. Yes, there are some effects but tolerable now on 37.5.
I have my last mri/ctscn last last Dec 2007 , showing no metastasis on my organs. My next mri/ctscan will be on May 2008. These procedure ( taking Sutent even though there are no signs of tumor found) is just a precaution or in order to kill microscopic tumor, as explain by my oncologist. i was told by my oncologist that i'll have to take it for seven cycles only after that i will stop and have my mri/ctsacan every six months for two years and once every year thereafter to monitor any progression.
