in Kidney Cancer #1

 

My results at the oncologist were way better than expected.  I have been on Sutent only two rounds of treatment, and the lung mets I did have are smaller.. and there are no new ones.  The fatigue,  nausea and intestinal upsets have been epic so with this good result I get to begin the 37.5 two weeks on, one week off.  Oh goodness, I guess it has been worth it!!

How surprising to me the progress ... or rather lack of any... was so fast... I am happy tonight!

    Oh happy day!  That's

    Oh happy day!  That's wonderful news!  I am so happy for you.  And yes, I would say the misery was well worth the end result.  Now, we just keep praying for more shrinkage and no new mets. 

    Keep the good results coming!

    Good for You!

    Hi Pam, I am glad to hear everything is moving in the right direction, that's such encouraging news. As long as we can see a clear path to the goal line, we can put up with all the heckling along the way. It is definitely going to prove it's worth Pam :)
