Hello all,
I wanted to ask if anyone has any experience of pazobanib?
My Dad was diagnosed with Stage 4 RCC last May and has been on pazobanib (votrient) ever since. He falls very sick every few weeks where he is admitted to hospital.
Dad went to a hospice for two weeks and was discharged a couple of weeks ago, but every time he is discharged he seems like he is getting worse than the previous time. He sleeps constantly. He hasn't been out of bed since Saturday and he was only up for a short while on Saturday. He struggles to find the energy to dress and is extremely low. They have reduced his treatment to 600mg. I call Palliative Care often, but there is never an answer as to what I should do. I stay off of work to be here as I worry what will happen if I don't and luckily the company I work for are amazing and allow me to work virtually so I can be a carer to Dad aswell.
My question is, should my Dad be this unwell on the treatment. Sleeping approximately 18-20 hours a day, not getting out of bed, in pain daily? I am going to put another call out the morning for help, but I just wondered if anyone has experienced the same.
Thank you
Marie
