Soft Tissue Sarcoma
"My wife has a very aggressive cancer that started in the uterus (removed a 2.5 lb tumor last June) which had metastasized to the lung and elsewhere. She was stage 4 at diagnosis. Two chemo drugs did not work. After a bad spell at Christmas (including kidney failure) they were talking about hospice but also wanted to try votrient. The votrient resulted in visible tumor shrinkage within 24 hours. We have continued with the votrient and after six weeks the lung tumors shrank by 20 and 30 per cent. 

The doctor tells us we may get one more good scan and then it may stop working. But the reprieve has been sweet and things are going in the right direction. 

She takes 3 pills (600mg) not 4. About the fatigue: she gets some low dose Ritalin."
