Day 7 on votrient, only side effects are fatigue

Sslee723

Is this to good to be true???? Just fatigue??? I'm not complaining, but seems strange from everything I have read. I called my oncologist and he said they may still come or I'm very lucky.   Luck? dont know what to think really .  Anyone else have little or no side effects.

That's great

Pay attention to you hair roots.  When they start to turn white you'll know it's in your system and working.

Did you ever get like blurry

Did you ever get like blurry vision, not when you look straight ahead but when you look to the sides .  I'm not even moving and my eyes are weirdly blurry.

Call your doctor

Sslee: no, I never had blurred vision.  Although, it did cause a sudden onset of high blood pressure, of which blurred vision is one of the symtoms.  According to the manufacturer, blurred vision is a side effect that warrents a call to your doctor.

I took BP meds while on Votrient.  I'm off of them now.

Do you have a BP monitor at home? Monitor your BP, and let your doctor know of your symptom(s).

I do have a bp monitor at

I do have a bp monitor at home , blurred vision went away after 15 minutes, really nauseous today with metallic taste in mouth.

good news

I'm glad you are doing well on the Votrient. Some of my side effects didn't come till a little later. I think what we imagine is worse than the reality. I got nausea a few times here and there but it actually helped to eat something, like crackers.  Hope you continue not to have bad side effects!
