Hi everyone
I am Sandeep 36yrs, live in Southampton, UK. I was diagnosed with ASPS in Dec 2008. I have right thigh primary tumour, multiple lung mets and single brain met (seems typical from reading all other members' experiences).
I am under the care of Prof Judson/ Dr Jones at Royal Marsden, London. Been on Sunitinib (Sutent) since January 09. On and off I have essentially been on 3 months of 25mgs daily. Sore feet and sore throat seem to my biggest problems.
Repeat scans in May showed the various lesions to be stable. However, I feel the lump in my thigh is softer and my chest pain has almost settled.
I am going to continue with Sutent 25 for the foreseeable future.
