Cycle 2

I'm 5 days into cycle 2 (28 days of pills; 14 days off) of the Sutent. Around the end of the 28 days of Sutent pills, I get scanned. Side-effects seem milder this time around. Hopefully a portent of things to come!

Sutent cycle 1 done

Sutent can be given in a couple doses and done 28 days on and 14 off or the easier mode of 2 weeks on and 1 off. I had some exhaustion after activity, some pain in my hands which may have been from the last medication (the clinical trial) and a fair amount of mouth sensitvity (making it hard to eat) and some minor digestion difficulties. After 5 days off I'm feeling the side effects fade (quicker than the other past medications). I do another cycle of 28 days and then get scanned. Side effects can diminish or get worse: I'm guessing they might get less for me since some were a bit diminished even during the cycle. This might be a good medication to be stuck with if it works!
