I was diagnosed with kidney cancer last year and started Sunitinib 50mg Capsules as part of my treatment plan. The drug has been effective in slowing the growth of the tumor, but it hasn’t been without its challenges. I have experienced several side effects, some more severe than others. I wanted to create this thread to share my experience and learn more about what others have gone through while taking this medication. Has anyone else dealt with Sunitinib and its side effects? What strategies have you found helpful for managing them?

I've recently been prescribed Pazopanib 200mg Tablets for my renal cell carcinoma. I'm looking to connect with others who have experience with this medication. What should I expect in terms of side effects, and how can I manage them effectively? Also, is there anyone out there who can share their experiences with the drug regarding its efficacy? Feel free to give any helpful tips to make this journey smoother!

Hi everyone, I've been on Sutent 12.5mg capsules for the past few months to treat my kidney cancer. The doctor explained that it blocks the proteins cancer cells need to grow and spread, and also blocks new blood vessel growth to the tumor. I've been experiencing some side effects, but I'm hoping to hear from others who have taken this medication. What has your experience been like? What side effects have you encountered? How have you managed them?
