I've found some information about this drug and it's side effects just here but if you'd like to have a look but do give our cancer nurses a call if you'd like to chat with someone about this.
Their number is 0808 800 4040 and phone lines are open between 9a.m - 5p.m, Monday - Friday.
Hopefully you'll hear from others who have experience of taking this drug soon.
Hi, I have been taking this drug for nearly 12 months now. The side effects are horrendous to be honest. I feel so ill. I suppose though that I should be glad that they are keeping me alive.
I have recently started immunotherapy, cycle of infusion followed by 3 weeks lenvatinib. Unfortunately after my first cycle my blood pressure rocketed so they stopped the tabs for the second cycle. was very upset, worried about stopping treatment as my cancer has spread. Just had my third infusion and restarted lenvstinib , blood pressure creeping up after 48 hours. Am adjusting my BP medication to try and manage it . The other main effect is on my voice. It is really hoarse, sounds like I have a really sore throat. Aches and tiredness are fairly standard I think.
