My mom is suspose to start taking the cancer drug Sutent and I was wondering if anyone know of any body using this as a form of cancer treatment for renal cell carcinoma. If so how have your/their experience on this medication been? Any Advice?

You need to find other patients with this disease who are taking Sunitinib Malate (brand name is Sutent). You can join an email Listserv group and ask others if they have used this or been in a Clinical Trial with it:

The drug is being used effectively with the Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST) and they have alot of information from patients who take this.
