      Hi all, posting on behalf of my wife.

      My wife was diagnosed barely in stage 3.  1.01mm on her leg, 6 cells found during biopsy.  She was not a good canidate for Interferon so we investigated and eventually ended up with the Dabrafenib and Trametinib on prescription.

      She has been taking them for about 11 days.  She's had a few side effects, a rash, sickness but nothing extreme.

      I am wondering if this is the worst it gets or is there a peak period for side effects or perhaps they just show up at any time.  Keep in mind this is all for a seemingly healthy person.

      Thanks.
