in Kidney Cancer #1

Hello everyone sorry I haven't been on here in a while but I have been having issues with the site. Anyway I received my latest ct results which showed progression in 2 sites and oncologist said that the tumours looked like they were filling out again (looked more solid in the middle) which indicates that the cancer has become resistant to pazopanib. So I have started axitinib 5mg twice a day and I was wondering if any of you lovely people could tell me about side effects.

Lots of love

    side effects

    I have had the pleasure of axitinib for about a year.  Fatigue is the main thing.  I also have bloating from gas.  It makes me a real joy to be around.  Over all it is not to bad . 

    I wish you all the best.
