With sutent if he is having many side effects then you can stop the drug for few days and get blood counts done and try to manage the vomiting.  After he recovers from the side effects sutent can be restarted with lesser dose. There is no phase III randomised trial About ayurvedic  treatment in cancer.

meet the treating oncologist for the next step for your father.
