Hi PeterG2 and a very warm welcome to the online community
I don't have any experience of taking tafinlar and kekinist, more commonly known as dabrafenib and trametinib, or dab/tram for short, but there are lots of people in the group who do. If you type 'dabrafenib and trametinib' into the group's search bar it will bring up previous posts which mention these drugs. You could then have a look through some of these and reply to any of the more recent posters if you think they could help you further.
While you're waiting for replies it would be great if you could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
