I have had a kidney removed 3 years ago and was told it had not spread to any lymph nodes, had scans every 4 months, then beginning of last year went to 6 months. Scan carried out in July showed the cancer had come back and had not been told the lymph node had grown on previous scans. Have had one cycle of the Pazopanib tablets and started off fine until after Xmas and then suffered with the majority of the main side effects I was told about. Had blood tests and was told ‘my levels’ were too high and to wait a couple of weeks which was a relief as my appetite came back and was able to put on weight and was not sick. Have been told I need a scan on my liver and waiting for that appointment now. Had a recent blood tests to check ‘levels’ and now back on the tablets and the side effects kicked in within 24 hours. Is anyone else in these tablets?
