She had recieved 3 Torisel so far but we don't know for sure if this drug is effective.However, she did have a cervical spine compression caused from a lesion and was making her right shoulder hurt, after 2 rounds of Torisel the pain is gone.She wont get a CT scan until a month n half later. So I just wanted know how are the rest of the Torisel users are doing so far.-Cathy  Dangerkitty214 Wed, 20 Feb 2008 00:00:00 GMT  On 2/20/2008 Dangerkitty214 wrote:My mom has been on Sutent 11 + cycles did well and now her condition has progressed.

I had nine treatments and one cat scan which showed no growth and some shrinage in one of the lung mets. I am now on Sutent. I just fuinished cycle one. I am on a very low dose, so I haven't had any side effects to speak of. Good luck to your mother. I've heard good things about torisel, if you can tolerate it.Richard Richard2 Fri, 22 Feb 2008 00:00:00 GMT My mother has been on torisel for 6 months and has not been sick one day!  runningragged Fri, 22 Feb 2008 00:00:00 GMT
