"Daddy has Clear cell renal cell carcinoma. He was first put on Opdivo and Yervoy--an immunotherapy. This worked great! It was shrinking my dad's tumors that he had in his stomach, liver, lungs, and right atrium (heart). It even got rid of all the cancer in his stomach. The cancer spread to his brain and he had to be put on chemotherapy. Votrient had a lot of side effects. Nausea, super high blood pressure, major fatigue, and chemo brain fog. He lost 80 pounds on votrient from not eating. Became frail and fragile and we were afraid he would die from malnutrition. We begged the doctor to take him off it because she even said he wouldn't live much longer on it, but the issue was the votrient was SHRINKING the tumors in his liver. This was a sign it was working. His doctor put him on dexamethasone 2mg which helped his energy levels and his appetite tremendously. He gained 40 pounds! He was on votrient 6mos but BP and brain fog got worse though so she then put him on Avastin."
