      Very interesting. Wouldn't it be great if NOT taking the Zel all the time would prove to be beneficial?

                                                     Thanks,

        I think that’s what they’re saying. I found another article that said they dosed 4 wks on then 2 wks off, then repeated. 2 weeks off out of 6 would be awesome. Definitely asking my dr all about it next wk!

      I think the trial I wanted in which was braf alone vs braf/mek combined doses were 4weeks braf 2weeks mek or placebo. I asked my doctor if that dosage of z would still work in case I didn’t get the mek and he said yes. I’m going to ask him about this study too.
