Hi all thanks for your well wishes. I am on my second week on lenvima. The first week was bad. But my side effects are getting better. Still a little dizzy, my blood pressure elevated and l had to be put on BP medication. The acid reflux is very bad. I am continuing to pray for positive results. I will keep you all updated. Thanks.
I am starting Lenvatinib soon. I am so very worried about the side effects. Has anyone had bad side effects and what helped? I am really thinking about not taking it. My thyroid cancer spread to my lungs.
Welcome, @tonbra32, as you likely know lenvatinib (Lenvima) is a multiple receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor that is prescribed for a number of different cancers, including thyroid cancer. @achatterjee's mom is soon to start on the medication as well.

Thank you. I am scared and sad and I hope I can get through with Lenvatinib. I am from Norway.

My thyroid cancer spread to my lungs, too. I have 40 nodules. I am very scared to start with Lenvatinib, too.
Thank so very much 💞

Hubby starts Lenvima in Sept/Oct. Lenvima is about $26k in the US. Luckily Medicare covers it.
