I have been on Sutent for 2 sessions. The first was the worst one of the two. I lost a lot of weight and was pretty sick for a while. The worst was the mouth sores, mostly the tongue. I did not eat not did I WANT to. Taste was non-existant! The second session was not quite so bad as I did not have stomach issues as in the 1st session. However the mout sores were just as bad and this leaves for pretty miserable feeling. I am off it now the the two week "break". And tomorrow I have a CAT scan to see if the tumor has been affected one way or the other. jncar24 Wed, 26 Dec 2007 00:00:00 GMT
