Hi and hope everyone is doing great.

My husband started Nexavar 2 weeks ago and has developed a severe body rash and extremely painful blisters on his feet.  We are looking for some advice on how to make him feel better as he is starting a new job after being off for the past 1 1/2 years and cannot afford to pass up this opportunity.

Quick update on history:  Removed large tumor and kidney in 2012.  RCC reappeared in lungs in 2014.  Has tried Evermolis, IL-2, Votrient and Opdivo.  All worked to some extent. 

THANK YOU SO MUCH in advance for any avice you can give.

Sincerely,

Sherri

    Side effects help

    It may be of great help-if you arent already on it-to check out Smart Patients and joing that site (its free). Join the Kidney Cancer group and ask a member-DonsMrs who is a nurse-what to do about these side effects. She has been a tremendous help to both myself and alot of other people who have dealt with side effects of kidney cancer drugs. My hubby is on Votrient-and I dont know what I would have done without her advice. In addition alot of other super niice and knowledgeable people on SP can offer great suggestions they have used with success. Hope this helps.
