Welcome @bigdog99, I believe @lilyann may have some experience with cabozantinib. While not for thyroid cancer, you may also appreciate this related discussion in the neuroendocrine tumors group:

Bigdog, do you have metastatic thyroid cancer? How long have you been on cabozantinib?

I have Hurthle cell carcinoma of thyroid, which was reclassified at Follicular Thyroid Cancer.
I only been on Cabometyx only three weeks but I noticed that I got the upset stomach issue and constipation much quicker that Lenvima and the side effects are different. I would any help on how to keep from feeling so sick in my stomach if that even possible.
