Hello, I was diagnosed with kidney cancer in 2005 and had total left nephrectomy. Cancer returned 2011, stage 4. I have been treated with Sunitanib, Pazopanib and am currently on Axitinib. Just wondering if anyone out there with MRCC on Axitinib and how are you coping with side effects.

thanks, Rose

    Hello Rose123,

    A big welcome to Cancer Chat. We have some information on axitinib here which lists all the possible side effects it may cause. I hope you meet others here who have direct experience of this drug. I did a little search for you and found a thread by loop74 who mentions taking this treatment. You can read loop74's story here and respond if you wish.

    If you ever needed to talk to our nurses, you can ring them on this free number if you live in the UK 0808 800 4040, they are available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.

    Best wishes,

    Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
