      Hi everyone,
      Hope things are going well with everyone and sending my prayers to everyone. I am just about 4 and a half months into taking dabrafenib and tramentinib daily and have just now begun to notice my hair falling out. I have pretty long hair and alot of it but it seems to be coming out at a quick pace i was wondering if anyone had any experience with this and what to expect as in if it will all fall out?
      Thanks

          Hello there, my father has been taking taf/mek for three months and we slightly noticed he is loosing his hair, too. Just noticed it in his cap. But it’s nothing dramatic.
          He noticed his silver hair are filling with colour, don’t know how is it possible… He really looks younger.. X-D
          I know two ppl who take this treatment for a year without any dramatic hair loose.
