I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the drug Sunitinib please? My dad has grade 4 renal cancer which after 4 great years following kidney removal has now spread to his brain and also lungs, although the brain tumour is what the consultant is most concerned about. After having less than 50% of thr brain tumour removed in an operation and palliative radiotherapy to help with his side effects of the tumour (major right side weakness), the consultant has offered to treat with Sunitinib. He has been very clear it might help slow down the lung tumors but have little effect on the brain tumour, and has very devastating side effects that with lack of mobility may be harder to deal with. It's an ongoing treatment so no real break although 2 weeks on and 1 week off. My dad has to decide between quality of life and quantity of life and although it's completely his decision I feel like I need to explore what others have gone through to understand if it could be an option for him. We've not been giving any timescales with or without the drug. Thank you.
