My father is 75 years old, he`s still in good condition. First the anaemia was revealed. After the complex survey, it turned out – clear cell carcinoma of the kidney. One tumor in each kidney. The mets are in lungs, in the adrenal gland and in the hip bone.

I wonder what drug would you advise to start with? We can participate in the trial: bewacyzumab + interferon alfa versus bewacyzumab + temsyrolimus (Avastin + Interferon Alfa versus Avastin + Torisel). The trial, as you certainly know, is free. I can also start with – Sutent (or Nexavar). The doctors say, it finally depends on us – whether we choose the trail of Sutent/Nexavar.

My health insurance will cover ONLY the FIRST DRUG.

For example, if I start with the trail, and it won`t get results, I will have to pay for any of the second drug. Unfortunately I can`t afford the Sutent / Nexavar / Torisel / Avastin – due to the price…

I also can start with the Sutent/Nexavar etc. for free and than - if it won`t get results - I can start the trail.

What would advise me to choose – any of drugs listed below? Perhaps something else?
(it`s terribly difficult question for us….)
