Dabrafenib and trametinib

Hello Miss mole  I have just picked up on your post and am so sorry to see it's gone unanswered. I can't give you the information you have asked for, I have a different cancer. By me replying however your post will be "bumped" back to the top of the forum and be seen by other members of the Community - and I hope you get the information you are looking for.

You could always ask your question to Ask a Nurse . Just click on the link provided and when the page opens up just click on +new to post your question. Just allow a couple of days for a reply.

I hope the above helps.

Best wishes - Brian.

Hi Miss Mole

Sorry to hear you're on this path, yes I've been on Dab and Tram since April last year. I've had infrequent coughs that come on for a few weeks and seem to subside. Obviously as its a medication that attacks your body it will make it easy for you to pick up any bug going around. I've mentioned this to my Proff on visits and been told not to worry too much. My main side affect is sore joints which I take Prednisolone to help reduce. Be aware of the side effects, there are a few but I consider all points like you have where if I don't have a high temp or bleeding then I don't take it as urgent. Its always good to check in with your Macmillan nurse rather than worry or wait.
