My husband has been on a clinical trial taking Sutent before surgery. He has a tumor on each kidney. One was 10cm and the other 5cm. He had his 1st cat scan after 2 cycles and it has showed a shrinkage of 25%. He has not had a lot of side effects from the drug and will continue for 2 more cycles and then hopefully they will be small enough to do surgery. I wanted to share this so if anyone will be taking sutent it has had good results for us.

    If anyone needs a full 28 day prescibtion of sutent that has not been opened please reply to sdloach@aol.com with the message "Sutent". I refuse to throw away such an expensive drug. My insurance company paid $7,000.00 for this. I would love to donate it to anyway who may need these pills. God Bless all of you......
