My father has had a kidney removed due to RCC and now over 10 years later has been diagnosed with an in-operable tumor in the lung. He will be starting Sutent in a few weeks. We really have no idea what to expect at this point besides some possible side effects the doctors have mentioned. I thought joining the Survivors Network could be a good place to get some information.

I wish the caregivers board was more vibrant and full of answers for you. But I'd recommend trying to find a discussion closer to your primary issue and serving as proxy for your father. I've done that with/for my wife and it has been very informative and helpful.
