It\u2019s now February 15, and I have now completed my second full Sutent cycle of two weeks on and one week off. So far the side effects are being well tolerated.<\/p>\n
I am being hit with occasional bouts of nausea, which has just been nausea and thankfully, nothing else. These bouts come and go without warning and last just a few minutes, the worst being when they wake me at night. I have been carrying and releasing a great amount of gas. The acne and\/or rash is becoming more pronounced on my face, neck, and now my feet. I have also been quite fatigued. If this is the worst of it, let\u2019s live life to its fullest.<\/p>\n
I also have some memories of my first rounds of treatment during 2001. I was on a high dose IL-2 therapy during January and then July of 2001. After the July cycle, I did not return to my office until September 2011, just 10 days after 9\/11. In total, I missed seven of the twenty months prior to returning to work.<\/p>\n
Most people in the New York area are just one or two people removed from someone who had perished during the World Trade Center attack, including the son of a neighbor of mine. That was on my mind when I returned to work after months of treatment for kidney cancer. In fact, many of the people who worked at my company never expected to see me alive again. The reception I received was beyond explanation. The emotions expressed were overwhelming. That may have been one of the best days of my life.<\/p>\n
