hi -- my husband recently received the nexavar treatment. overall, he’s doing alright, however he did experience some side effects. in the beginning, he gt a rash, sore feet and was often feeling dizy. i would say that the most significant side effect he experienced was loss of appetite. i mean, he’s lost over 30 pounds as a result to tking this mediCation. the support seestem he’s had while on this medication has made the side efects all the more Manageable.

Hellloo Cancer community. My mother was diagnosed with stage 3 liver cancer, and was told she only has 6 months to a year to live. The only medication she was given was Nexavar. We would like to prepare for any side effects, so could anyone share their experience with this drug?

Living with Lung Cancer / hair advice

My sister has done 3/4 of her infusions and is about 80% balding. Do you think she should just shave it or try to salvage what she has because it is not all gone. If we shave it all off will it grow in better? Im a guy and need some women perspective. Help a guy out!

Yearly checks can be super important. If you feel you or your child need to go to a dermatologist you should definitely go for it. There is no harm in taking precautions!
