About Eivor

I have secondary kidney cancer. My right kidney was removed ten years ago and in the spring of 2014 I was diagnosed with six new tumours. First I was given sunitinib (Sutent) but it didn't agree with me so I ended up in A&E. After that I started Votrient in March 2015 and am still on it, but lately my blood pressure has shot up way above the acceptable limit and the doctor is sure it is the fault of the medication.As soon as I come off it for a few days my blood pressure is back to normal. It is a balancing act whig is quite tricky at the moment.
