Hello, this is my first time to post. I too am on Sutent as of the middle of Feb. this year. I went through 2 rounds of IL-2 treatments in the hospital to find it was not successful. My doctor felt that Sutent was the best drug to start with. I am on my second month with that and not without difficult side effects. My mouth, tongue and gums took a beating! At the end of the first dose, I could not handle it any longer! I went off it 2 days early and took 2 weeks off. I am through the 14 day period now and am off it for a week. The cancer had spread to my lungs and spine. I am going in tomorrow for a CAT to see if the Sutent is working. God, I hope so!!!!!!!!!!
