Started at 3B and yesterday I took my last Dabrafenib / Trametinib tablet. It's been a strange old journey but here we are, no worse for wear Just a slightly lumpy tattoo!
Does anyone have any experience coming off these medications? How long does it take for side effects to wear off etc?
Hi , congrats on finishing adjuvant treatment i hope you are still doing well. it might depend on what side effects you had as to how long those side effects take to wear off.
I had dab only back in 2015/16 not as adjuvant treatment but due to melanoma that could not be removed by surgery and I moved on to Pembro after 8 months. In two months my superficial hair changes changed again.
What side effects have you been having ?
Take care KT
