Cabometyx side effects
hi I’m new here. My husband has been living with RCC for seven years. He had kidney removed and at the time they found spots in his lungs. Spots were slow growing so for most of that time he has been symptom free. But over the last year cancer has spread to other areas and tumors in lungs are larger. He was put on Cabo recently after having tried immunotherapy which caused him to develop chronic pancreatitis. Cabo has had side effects for him and I am wondering if anyone has tips on how they manage the side effects of this drug. For him it’s mainly nausea, fatigue, pain in solar plexus which could actually be the pancreatitis. Considering taking only for 5 days and giving a break of two days. Or taking at night instead of am. Trying to help him find ways to tolerate this better. Thanks in advance.

Hi two labs, welcome. I'm sorry that your husband is experiencing those side effects with Cabo. I've never taken Cabo so I'm not much help. I might suggest you checking out the smartpatients site, there are a lot of people there who are using Cabo and might be able to help. In the meantime I hope that someone else on this site can help also. All the best!
