I have been on drug for 8 weeks, first scan came back w/ "stable disease" status. no new growths. Dr now wants to increase my dose to 7mg twice daily. Lots of side effects for me. Most all are countered by another drug: increase blood pressure: changed HBP drugs, thyroid problems: increased synthroid, Diarrhea: now take lomotil, Fatigue: still a problem, Muscle and joint pain: vicodin ...

My grandfather is own this medication and it seems to be keeping the cancer at bay however the side effects are sometimes aweful. He never knows if he is going to wake up with diarrhea or not. He had the hoarseness for a while but it has gotten better. Now he is experiencing coughing a lot. Cough meds only seem to aggravate it. He stays sore all the time because he coughs so hard it rocks his whole body. He has been on this medication for a year now.

Apparently this drug is doing wonders for the RCC I have. However, I lost 60 lbs and didn't realize it was due to this drug. I now have severe edema in my legs and feet, something that 2 doctors can't seem to fix. I wear compression stockings every waking moment and they seem to help with the pain, but that's not a cure, just a bandaide. I take 80 mgs daily of furosemide (a diuretic) as a B.P control, but it has done nothing for the edema. Terrible living with "fat" feet because I haven;t got one pair of shoes that fit. Now I'm stuck with slippers 24/7. I developed a really bad horse voice which finally has started to go away after 4 months. Now I'm a firm believer that it will not be the cancer that kills me, but the cure. Read More Read Less

I have been on this for 3 weeks. Because it is a small pill it is easier to take. I developed soreness in mouth and cannot hot or spicy food. The skin of the feet is peeling and cracking. Developed hoarseness of voice. Feeling extremely tired. Previously I was on votrin for 3 months which shrunk the tumor somewhat. Because I developed one new spot I was started on Inlyta. I developed high blood pressure while I was on votrin. When I stopped Votrin, the blood pressure was normalized. Once I started Inlyta , the blood pressure rose again and I am on the blood pressure medication againRead More Read Less

I really don't know yet about effectiveness b/c I've only been on it about 5 weeks. Main side effect so far is moderately severe hoarseness.
