I was diagnosed with sarcomatoid rcc in January of 2006, with metastases in the adrenal gland, lymph nodes, and lungs. I was placed on Avastin/Gemzar/Adriamycin for 2 months, after which some tumors regressed slightly (but the treatment was taking me down). I then tried Sutent for 2 months and failed that (i.e. cancer progressed). I then went on Avastin/Gemzar/Xeloda/Interferon for 2 months, but didn't tolerate the Interferon and the cancer still progressed. I then went on hospice care for about 3 months, during which I felt great, and the cancer progressed only slightly. I'm about to go on a clinical trial combining Sorafenib (Nexavar) with AMG 386. Any feedback would be appreciated! Tony The Tiger Sun, 03 Dec 2006 00:00:00 GMT Tony,I was diagnosed with sarcomatoid RCC in April.I am on Gemzar/Avaistin/Xeloda.
