  My Father had Hep C for years. He caught malaria in Vietnam; which I belive attributed to his liver cancer. Dad worked, was funny and was full of energy, most days. He called me with excitement to tell me that he would be starting interferone (which would eliminate his Hep C.). This was in 2014. I noticed in 2015, that he was dropping weight - the whole year.

I noticed in 2015, that he was dropping weight - the whole year. In Jan. 2016, he went in to be evaluated and was told, after $50,000.00 of testing, that he now had liver cancer. The doctors suggested going in and burning around the cancer in March of 2016 in order to keep it from spreading. Well, they only aggravated the cancer and made it spread to his lungs and brain. In lare July, they suggested Nexavar. He did not live 6 weeks after taking this killer drug that grossly speeded up his death. They let him know in advance that even if he had stopped talking this killer drug, that it would continue to work in his body, which it did. He lost his appetite, slept a lot, was in constant excruciating pain and then died on Sept. 24th 2016. Murder it was ...

They then had her on Lovenox, Furosemide, Spironolactone and then put on nexavar, 8 days later goes into 3 day coma and dies.

He was diagnose in 2015 and chose not treat it. He had days where he slept a lot or was fatigue but he lived a normal life. His eyes had a yellow tint to them but he continued his daily life and lived it well. In December 2018 his doctors ordered a PET scanned and suggested he start taking the drug Nexavar. I told him not to take it and he didn't. After several visits to the doctor he was convince to try the drug out. I begged him not to because I could see his body was already weak. His doctors never told him Nexavar could possibly exasperate the decline of the liver. Well, he was a person walking, talking, and well aware of his surrounding before Nexavar. After taking Nexavar on Februar 4 - February 14, 2019 His body went into failure and the last week of his life he couldn't walk, he barley talked, he declined mentally, slept a lot and died February 25, 2019. I know if he had never took Nexavar we would have had at least a year or so together. My husband himself said he couldn't understand why everything on his body was failing at the same time. I was so caught up in taking care of him I didn't realize it was that little red pill Nexavar. It should be banned from medicine!!!

  My wife died a sudden, violent, and bloody death three weeks after starting taking Votrient. It looked like her lungs had exploded!

• MELISSAJanuary 21, 2019 at 10:25 pm

  my father was on votrient for about 2 weeks, his cancer progressed and he was taken off, over the course of 3 day after stopping Votrient he died! tumors metastasized, kidneys shut down, he had internal bleeding and many many other issues that forced me to make the choice of letting me go comfortable. I wish there was a lawyer here in Arizona that could help me with his wrongful death

• JessicaNovember 3, 2018 at 6:11 pm

  My dad took Nexavar for a week and died of liver failure and the cancer had spread. I am in the process of trying to sue the companies and doctor for malpractice because my dad should have never been given hat medicine. If anyone has anything that could help in suing the companies that make this please share with me. Or if you want to get involved with me and do it together that would be great!

Within one week of taking nexavar she went from driving and walking to being in wheel chair from being weak , called Dr he said it was normal . Two days later she had a heart attack and was taken to hospital that prescribed the meds. Her oncologist wanted to continue treatment but mom denied any further use . So she has taken nexavar for a week an stopped use right ? Nbd right ? No ! She is already in multiple organ failure and with all she had been threw her brain was effected by all her labs coming back high . My mother was supposed to have 5 more years with treatment mind you . The hospital kept her about a week an sent her home on hospice, she died 2 days later ! So within around a week of use this Dr. and drug killed my mother . We had trips planned to Ireland and to New Mexico for her to see Carlsbad caverns . Don't be fooled by Drs and there horseshit ,research ur options and treatments. Please don't bury ur loved ones like I did .

  My dad had liver cancer for 2 years. He started with Y-90 treatments and then chemoembilization.

He started Nexavar towards the end of January. He was on it a couple weeks before he started to get really week and it made his ascites worse. He was getting fluid drained weekly and it wasn't enough. They stopped the Nexavar after about 4 weeks for a few days and the next week they said put him into hospice. He lasted another week (couldn't even walk and the ammonia destroyed his mind). It was a quick turn and I will only be left wondering what if he never took the Nexavar. I know the cancer was progressing, but would we still have had another year? Would he have had a longer period of quality life? I am glad he is no longer suffering, but I miss him immensely. Nexavar sucks.

  Nexavar KILLED my Father in less than 6 weeks. At first the Mayo Clinic suggested a procedure on his liver to burn around the cancer spots in order to keep it from spreading.

They assured us that 30 doctors voted that this procedure was best for Dad and said the surgery would keep it from spreading. He had the surgery in March, by Memorial Day weekend he knew something was very wrong. On July 18th the Dr.'s told him that there was nothing more that they could do for him. The docs then suggested Nexavar because the surgery made the cancer spread to his lungs. Before Nexavar my Dad was moving around pretty good- he was moving around with no pain before the surgery. He had to stop Nexavar because it broke down his immune system, completely took away his appetite ( made him anorexic) even after he discontinued the meds . The meds were for 6 weeks but after two or three they suggesting we call hospice. Those horrific guinea pig meds affected him swallowing and did something to his lungs. He went from walking briskly to barely being able to get around within weeks of Nexavar. He was bones when he died. Shame on the Doctors and the drug manufacturers.

  My mother died while on Nexavar, but had been on sutent for several months prior to the switch. She passed away within weeks of the switch. Her complication was bleeding(probably due to sutent) and it couldn't be stopped even with surgery. I believe these drugs contributed to the death of my mother. Her tumors may have shrank very minimally , but became more numerous as well.
