i HAVE BEEN ON SUTENT FOR 5 MONTHS NOW - THE MOST BOTHERSOME SIDE EFFECT IS SORE AND PEELING FEET - MAKES IT PAINFUL TO WALK AT TIMES. ALSO HAVE HAD STOMACH CRAMPS, BUT THEY ARE TOLERABLE - IT'S THE FEET THAT BOTHER ME THE MOST SINCE IT MAKES IT HARD TO GET AROUND ( I EVEN BORROWED CRUTCHES FROM A FRIEND FOR OCCASIONAL USE). THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT MY FIRST SCANS CAME BACK POSITIVE. HOPEFULLY THE SIDE EFFECTS WILL DIMINISH OVER TIME AND NOT WORSEN. Published: October 02, 2008 ::

The hands and feet are pretty much back to normal now but took 8 months. Published: October 13, 2008 ::

My grandmother was issued Sutent recently for Stage 4 Renal Cancer. Unfortunately, the drug did not work for her. Sutent apparently accelerated the growth of the cancer and also contributed to an ulcer she developed. As of February 22, 2008, she has been removed from the drug and has been given up to 2 years to live. She also experienced several very rare side effects with this medication, taking her doctors by surprise. Published: February 25, 2008 ::
