With continued success !!

AliveNwell Thu, 06 Mar 2008 00:00:00 GMT Hi Melissa,Thats so wonderful to know. My father has his right kidney removed due to RCC. Now doctors are suggesting to take Stutent (25mg) each day for atleast a month.We are all anxious about the outcome- we thought radiotherapy should have been better. Could you please share the experience that your mom underwent after taking this drug, side effects etc. Also the dosage amount if you remember.Thanks so much. Eagerly wating for the response as he needs to start this soon.~Good BlessAbhijit      Abhijit Tue, 11 Mar 2008 00:00:00 GMT  On 3/2/2008 Missy102677 wrote:Hi all -   My mom has been on Sutent for 3 cycles now and just had a cat scan.  Her results revealed that the tumors in her lungs have significantly reduced in size and some has disappeared, her liver tumors have almost all disappeared and the one on her pancreas is unchanged right now.  She is continuing another three cycles of 2 weeks on and 1 week off.  Sutent does work and the side effects are tolerable. - Melissa   Great News, I too will start my third round of Sutent tomorrow.My latest CT showed no growth and some shrinkage.

I have lost a kidney and had a lumpectomy off my spine.  I have a tumor in my lung.  My big concern is side effects.  I am pretty healthy otherwise.  Your email has helped in the decision.  I have two people for and two against so I'm looking for a tie breaker.  Any infomation from anyone would give me some peace of mindThanks Fran in CanadaWe are all happy for you. This is a great news. Best luck, ana  Franincanada Wed, 26 Mar 2008 00:00:00 GMT John are you finding the drug tough to take.  I am supposed to start soon.  Have lost a kidney and had a tumor removed from my spine and some radiation.  Have a tumor on right lung now and they are suggesting SutentFran in Canada Franincanada Wed, 26 Mar 2008 00:00:00 GMT
