You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

The usual dosage for Sutent is 50 mg daily for 4 weeks, then 2 weeks off.

A quick glance at Google seems to show that side effects to Sutent are common, as are dosage reductions from 50 mg to 37.5 mg.

Your father should see his oncologist. The dosage of Sutent can be reduced, and there are treatments available to relieve some of the other side effects associated with chemotherapy.
