To Bunker,willard,Mazzy,Lissa and everyone else My husband has rcc mets to lungs and bones. Found out 12/04 He is now 59 yrs. Had lung surgery to remove tumor.Thats how they found out that it was rcc.This was done in Jan.05. Had left kidney removed in April 05. Broke left femur bone from just walking-did scan and found out he had cancer in bones-spine,hip,ribs and leg.Surgery on July 05 Had rod put in. Started him on Avastin/tarceva which helped reduce lung tumors for 6 months,but it started to progress again.They put him on zometa also for his bones.Next was nexevar for 3 months but the cancer still progressed. They started him on Sutent and on Dec. 13 we will have the results.I have been reading cancercompass for a long time and also tried to put as message in but I failed. I haven't used a computer but when my husband got sick I plunged in. It looks like we are all waiting for the first results of Sutent and Willard - fantastic! Bunker - thanks for all your support to all of us.You have given my husband hope along with many others.I take care of my husband as your wife does you,Bunker. My husband uses a walker and is able to get around-he's strong willed. Has gone though the side affects sore mouth, salty tastes but sweets -loves them. Oh, he also had mouth surgery to remove all of his teeth before he went on zometa, but was taken off 6 months afterwards because of exposed bone on jaw not healing.All of you take care and be strong.Any questions -feel free to ask. I'm on maybe 2 times a week. Essiac
