Miss I. - kidney cancer has spread

I was diagnosed with kidney cancer a year ago, the primary which has spread to my lung, liver and ovaries.  On the drug Pazopanib....tiredness the main side effect.  I was told the kidney cancer was at least 5 years old?  Is anyone fighting/ suffering the same condition?

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Miss I although I'm sorry to hear that your cancer has spread.

    There are many discussions on the forum from others who are also contending with kidney cancer, such as this one, that you may like to join in on but I wanted to put you in touch with [@Bobh]‍ as their husband is in a similar situation to yourself and now that I've mentioned them in this post they'll hopefully be along soon to share their experiences with you.

    We have some information about the other side effects you may experience whilst taking pazopanib on our website but if you have any questions do give our cancer nurses a call. Their phone number is 0808 800 4040 and their lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    I hope this helps Miss I and I wish you all the best on your journey.

    Kind regards,
