RCC for just over 1 year now, what treatments have worked for you?

tracylev

Hi, I just found this discussion board and have been reading some of the stories. I was diagnosed with RCC a little over a year ago and had a left nephrectomy in December 2015. I have mets to the lungs. My first treatment was high dose IL2. It didn't work. Second treatment Votrient which worked about 7 months. Now I'm doing a clinical trial and will get another scan in April. If this doesn't work and the tumors continue to grow I'll start a new treatment. Just wondering what treatments have worked for you all and if you could tell me your experiences with different treatments. Thank you

My thoughts and prayers are with you...I haven't had to have any further treatment so far...so I am not much help except to say the above.
