Stivarga (regorafenib) can cause various side effects that many in the colorectal cancer community have experienced, including fatigue, hand-foot skin reaction, diarrhea, and changes in appetite. Each person's experience with this medication can be quite different, so connecting with others who have taken it can provide valuable insights. Consider sharing more about what specific concerns you have, as community members often have helpful tips for managing common side effects they've encountered.

I 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.
