Hi 

I am about to start  my treatment of dabrafenib and trametinib in a couple of weeks , could anyone enlighten me to some common side effects as I am a bit concerned about working as I am an hgv driver and I certainly have a responsibility not to drive if I suffer from any side effects,  but I don't know how common it is to have side effects and are they going to stop me from driving if and when I get any . I was going to stop work for maybe the first month of treatment to see if I get any unwanted side effects and if its OK then go back to work, or do any side effects take longer to manifest than 1 month , any feedback greatly appreciated. 

  • I did fairly well with side effects and didn't really get much of anything. 

    At the beginning (probably a month in) I got night sweats and had a bit of a rash with spots on and off for the 12 months.
