4 months agoI am on Stivarga..The first mth.I was on it I had 2 headaches that lasted for about 10 mins that I thought was gonna take me out.But I have never had them again.The worst thing for me his foot reaction on my thrid week I get skin healing then blister on my feet .but I found using a real good lotion will help with this.I been on it 6 mths and my cancer has not grown at all since I started taken it.I also have alot of joint pain with it were my joints already hurt in spot this medicine intensified it.But it's doing what needs to be done.So I can deal with the side effects.
