Hello my name is Debra, My mom was diagnosed with RCC in Feb. of this year. With her kidney removed all was well until August when scans showed mets to the lung and lymph nodes. Small lung spot was removed but the lymph node spot is inoperable. We are cuttently involved with a trial at Sloan in New York City, that involves Interferon and Sutent. She is running fevers and has flu like symptoms. If anyone out there can tell me what to expect in the way of side effects it would be greatly appreciated. How long do the fevers and chills last. This is very new to us and I need all the information I can get on the drugs she is taking. And I would rather talk to people that are actually using the drugs than just reading side effects on a web site.
Thank You God Bless Debra(:
