Hope to be helpful
Tafinlar
and Mekinist cleared it just as fast as it hit me. Clean scan. The next will be my experience since then, for some reason I felt the need to post something today. My name is Ryan, I’ve had melanoma since I was 21. I am 30, and I’ve now had 10 surgeries.

Update on my husband
He's been on
Tafinlar
& Mekinist ever since. Hopefully this one will be negative; apparently the doctor decided to remove it prophylactically because Tony has been NED this entire time. Hoping for the best.

BRA/ Mek Treatment holiday flops in late stage melanoma trial

braktovii/ Mektovi combination
He used
Tafinlar
/ mekanist for a year in 2018 and felt much worse than he did during treatment with Optivo so I am sure hoping he can tolerate it. Another subject: does anyone have the pten mutation? It’snot that common and I haven’t seen any mention of it here.

He continues on his
Tafinlar
/ Mekinist regime. More irritable, less joy. We're very focused on our 16 year old. Tony's set a goal to see him graduate from highschool. Everything is icing on the cake after that.

Ovarian remission & aggressive recurrence within months?
And then, she went on an experimented drug usually used for melanoma called Mekinist and
Tafinlar
. Within two months, her breathing normalized, her scans were clear of tumors, and her CA 125 dropped from 1,150 to 35. It was truly a miracle. The doctor gave her remission status.

Started treatment
My husband started his regime a week ago today;
Tafinlar
and Mekinist. Other than feeling a bit hung over and loose bowels, he's tolerating it well. He dozes in his chair much more frequently so is getting some rest.
