Sorry, I guess you really wanted to know about side effects.  There are a lot but they seem to come at different times so your not hit all at once.  First I'd get very itchy red skin everywhere except face.  The calluses on my feet started peeling off.  I had very severe diarhea for a while, started taking imodium for a while, lost a lot of weight.  Now the stomach problems come and go.  I had very red painful joints, but only one at a time, the next week it would be my other wrist, then my ankle, etc.  I also lost most of my hair, the pamphlet said some people get hair thinning, but mine was almost gone and came back in super curly and short, it still hasn't grown anymore.  Some people tell me the hair loss could have been from the chemoembolizations, but I was told there's minimal side effects with that because it's directly in the tumor not your whole body.  Who knows, maybe it was the combination of both.  The only side effect that made me think about quitting was the diarhea.  But now my weight is stable and the diarhea has subsided, still upset stomach most of the time though.  If it's keeping me alive though it's totally worth it.  I have two girls, one is 10 the other 14.  I would like to get them through their teen years at least.
