Sutent advice

Less than one minute read time.

After being taken off Sonaferib and Panazofib (sorry for the spelling) due to extreme reactions my dad has been put on Sutent as the consultant has said the effects should be less with the exception of a sore mouth. I have read some blogs which say about not being able to eat in weeks 3 & 4 I am unsure of what the effects are and what to look out for. Would anybody be able to help? Dad has secondaries in his lungs, shoulder, elbow and thumb and has swelling in his foot. His left hand has also started swelling. Not sure whether this is drug related or the cancer. Dad has been on them for one week so far. Any advice that you guys could give would be really helpful.
