Hi there,   is anyone taking Cabozantinib?  If you are how are you finding it? What is it being used for?  All information or advice welcome please x

  • Hi eyestar21

    I have not used this medication but by responding it will bump your post. Hopefully someone who has used it will then see and respond.

    In the meantime I will pop a link to some information that may be of use. You are also welcome to give the Support Line a call and talk to one of the nurses who may be able to give some more information. The number is below.

  • Hi  

    Sorry you did not get any replies so far, I had never heard of Cabozantinib until I looked it up and see there have been a number of trials since my wife last had any treatment for her Leiomyosarcoma so it was really quite interesting to me to know about this if my wife were to need treatment again.

  • Hi Steve,

    I have been fighting this cancer for the last 16 years and through amazing doctors and health staff they have kept me alive and kicking... My latest treatment is Cabozantinib 60mg daily tablet. It is an inhibitor treatment and after 6 months we are beginning to see small shrinkage to the tumour. I know it has been prescribed for different types of cancer but as yet not synovial sarcoma. I have had a lot of surgeries over these years and now at the age of 70 the anaesthetist has decided I am not a candidate for surgery but because of side effects, I have lost just under 4 stone so they are now reviewing the situation... I wish you and your wife the best for your future...
