My Doctor Has Ordered A BRAF Test On My Tumor. Can Someone Give Me More Information About This Please
I only recall the tiredness and severe diahrea. It sounds like your husband had mild side effects after the 2nd treatment. I wish you both well.
Jennifer, after my son had his 2nd infusion, things went sideways as far as side effects. If your husband experiences stomach distress, please tell the oncologist and get on meds. It can be treated, but it can also be very unpleasant.
Prayers to all that meed
Hi Jennifer. Is that the same as opdivo/yervoy?
I can provide my experience as a caregiver. When our son was informed he was stage 4, his tumor was sent to the west coast for further testing. This is done to determine which immunotherapy treatment would be the most effective to aide in shrinking tumor or tumors inside the body. In 2015, my son had 19 tumor in his liver. And small lesions in his lungs,pelvis,and right femur. The test took about 10 days and a treatment plan was put into place almost immediately. He was braf positive and they started him on Taflinar and Mekinist. This was 9 years ago. I know the FDA has approved more treatment options since then. I wish you much success on your treatment journey.
Does Anyone Have Experience With Braftovi And Mektovi After Opdualag?
