New treatment cabo

Hi 

i know nothing about this treatment but I wanted to wish you luck. I hope the side effects are minimal and the nurses are kind. May your veins stay soft and pliable and your bloods normal. 

Love and hugs

How has your first week been Daisy?

Hi Daisy

I am on my 13th cycle of Cabo 40mg . Started with 60mg but had to be reduced to 40mg due to side effects - very upset tummy. As to side effects. By and large Im relatively lucky. I get the odd bout of upset tummy , I take loperamide for this. I get tired and have to organise the day to include a nap , but hey that's easy .  I've moved to a Vegan diet which helps with the upset tummy. Kidney tumour has shrunk , cancer spread to bones is under control. New treatments are scary but for me , compared to this time last year , I can do heaps more and we have even managed a couple of holidays. Hope all goes well and that my reply has helped you. 

Hi I am on my second week so far not to bad,had sore mouth for abit but used mouth wash given by doctor and it’s made me constipated, go tomorrow for a check up and I have been watching my blood pressure which is ok.

thank you for asking hope your doing ok

Hi Daisy, I hope your treatment goes well, I have no experience with the drug you mention but I was on my cancer drug for over three years! I had to reduce it a few times due to side effects and then it was increased again, once things settled down.  I would say the one important thing about any new treatment is to advise your team of any new side effects as they turn up as only once they are aware of these, they can help! Good luck and I hope your side effects stay minimal!
