I Have been offered the choice of taking Lenvatinib and was wondering if anyone else had taken it and what there side effects were.

  • Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community which I Hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

    Although I'm not a member of this group I noticed that you hadn't had any replies yet. 

    I've searched the group for previous posts which mention Lenvatinib and found these for you to have a look through. You could contact the posters of the the more recent ones if you wanted to ask any further questions.

    Macmillan has this information in the side effects of the drug.

  • I know a few people who have had this and it's not an exaggeration to say it's just about the best thing available on the market but the side effects can be quite nasty.

    That said, your team will encourage you to report any and all side effects as soon as you notice them so they can adjust your dose, put you on a drug holiday, or think again about your treatment.

    I don't know how the situation is in 2022, but people had to fight to get access to this drug a few years back and if you're eligible, I'd say grab the chance but watch the side-effects carefully. 

    Best wishes
