Inlyta for Cancer Involving the Kidney Cells
I've only been on this medication for a short while, so I'm not sure about its long-term effectiveness yet. The main side effect I've noticed is that my voice has become quite hoarse.

Inlyta for Cancer Involving the Kidney Cells
My grandfather takes this medication for his cancer, and while it does seem to be helping, the side effects are sometimes really terrible. He never knows if he's going to wake up with diarrhea or not, and the cough meds only make it worse. He's been on this medication for a year now and he's just so sore all the time from all the coughing.
