Footstomper, what dosage wereFootstomper said:Glad the Sutent works
The side effects pretty much did me in. But it seemed to be holding the cancer back I guess I'll find out on Tuesday when I get the results of my scan.
Footstomper, what dosage were you on? And keeping fingers crossed for good results!

You have a great sense ofFootstomper said:Sutent
37.5 Two weeks on, one week off. It got to the point I was measuring my days by how many trousers I got through. A three-trouser day was not a good day.
You have a great sense of humor
But the difference is dosage probably explains why the OP had relatively mild side effects while yours was not exactly what we could call mild. -
