melanoma

Hi , I’m sorry that your back with us again, but welcome. There are a number of people on dab tram that I hope will pop in and say hello. My journey started back in July 2015 with a metastatic diagnosis, I was on Dabrafenib only, as dab tram was only on trial back then. I was on dab for 9 months before I was moved onto Pembro due to a further spread from groin nodes to ovary. The combo is meant to be a lot better, I hope you get over your chest infection soon, although Christmas of treatment in one way must be a nice thought. 

Best wishes

Hi KTatHome, thank you for your rely, I hope your journey is going well for you, im unsure if not being on treatment over Christmas is a good thing or bad, must admit treatment all though only a week was a struggle, ill go by what my team tells me ,

best wishes hun and Merry Christmas xx

Hi madmomma, I’m doing ok at the moment although I’ve had a wobble during November, I’m back on track. We have to trust our teams so much don’t we, and talk ourselves round to things being good. For me a break in treatment brings about a bit of anxiety that I’m on pause but the melanoma might not be,  but the advantage of feeling normal, and the team weigh up everything when they advise us. When I started on Dabrafenib it worked very quickly for me and so I hope when you start back on it, it makes up for lost time, in the gentlest of ways.

Merry Christmas to xx
