Sutent treatment for kidney cancer

Hi. Just an update on my previous post re my partner Brian.Saw the encologist yesterday and to start on a drug called sutent in 2 weeks as this will be 6 weeks post surgery.As cancer is in lymph nodes & lung this treatment is to slow it down only-we were told average life expectancy 2 1/2 years which was a huge shock.Anyone else on sutent or know of someone who was on it.Aware of side effects but looking for help on how to manage them for the best x

  • Hello,

    I'm French and I receive all new internet link with Sutent in Keywords. That's how I found your post.

    I' had my first cancer when I was 28 years old, I've 38 now... Don't take care about figures or studies, each cancer is different and we are in the 21 century now.

    I took Sutent during 6/8 months in 2013, and it has saved my life. It's hard, very hard but it works. My cancer in my brain and in my lung disapeared in 2 months ! Nothing new since 2 years now.

    Sutent will fight your cancer, you'll have to keep on doing and to face with side effects.

    I'm taking Votrient now, it's easier (less side effects) and results seem to be equal.

    If I can help
