For stage 4 kidney cancer I just started my third week of 60 mg Cabometyx. I have had a number of side effects however, so far manageable. They have included: high blood pressure (started medicine to control), fatigue, voice changes (raspy/hoarse), muscle spasms/leg cramps, weight loss and sore muscles. I have a doctor's appointment next week for a toxicity check and my next scan in 2 months.

Hello @rkruzeski and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I am glad you found this forum and you are sharing your experience with Cabometyx. You might also find it helpful to post in the Kidney Cancer support group. Here is a link to that group: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/kidney-cancer/
In that support group, there is a discussion about metastatic renal cell carcinoma:

Have any other treatments been suggested, such as surgery or radiation?
