Craig the Sutent King

Well, it's been 4 weeks this Wednesday that Craig's been on a full dose of Sutent. We went to Dr. Jones a week ago last Friday and his blood work was good, liver function good, nothing to be worried about so far. He had lost a little weight but he attributes that more to summer than anything. He told Dr. Jones that a few days before the appointment he thought he'd tell her he wants to drop down to 2/3 dose but now he was feeling pretty good and felt like he could tolerate the full dose. She said it's best to stay on it to do all we can do to fight the tumors. He'll have a scan in late Oct. to see what's going on inside but unless he feels differently, he'll be able to stay on the full dose for the near future. Dr. Jones thought he looked great and was tolerating the treatment very well. There are just two other patients she has on Sutent and it sounds like Craig is doing the best. We feel really lucky and hope it's actually doing something to the tumors. Craig actually feels at times that he forgets he has cancer. This treatment is bringing quality of life that he never had with the chemo embolization. Last year at this time he was looking much worse and we are so very thankful to have this time. Thanks for everyone thoughts and prayers.
