      Hi,

      I understand that the BRAF/MEK is so new there are no studies. The Braf/MEK combo trial is a phase 1 and will take time to gather the resuts. Safety & dosage escalation is needed to be analyzed in Phase 1 not to mention side effects. Anyone on this trial is brave because this is a " unknown"  COMBO.

      Emily, who is your integrative oncologist and what city does he work from???? I have been looking for integrative oncologist in southern california for a long time. Anyone know of one? Is there a professional oraganization these types of doctors belong to???

      I wish you great success with this trial. May your husband get NED quickly.
