Hello all, I am fairly new to the site. I have gained valuable information from all of you so thank you for taking the time to share your stories with others. My husband, Rudy, has been on Zelboraf since mid March 2013, after being diagnosed with Stage 4, with mets in his liver, the previous month. His tumors have shrunk dramatically, so we are very happy with the results. The only problem he had was the with the severity of the side effects, which were so dibilitating that they reduced his dosage to 3 pills 2x a day and an every other week schedule.
Hello all, I am fairly new to the site. I have gained valuable information from all of you so thank you for taking the time to share your stories with others. My husband, Rudy, has been on Zelboraf since mid March 2013, after being diagnosed with Stage 4, with mets in his liver, the previous month. His tumors have shrunk dramatically, so we are very happy with the results. The only problem he had was the with the severity of the side effects, which were so dibilitating that they reduced his dosage to 3 pills 2x a day and an every other week schedule. His last visit to the oncologist a few days ago revealed that he was still responding positively. Despite the great results we opted for the new treatment because his oncologist advised that the side effects are less severe, and the results better, so this is our hope. I was wondering if any of you are on the combo and if so how are you doing?
Thanks for reading and I will keep you posted on my husbands progress! I am praying for all of you who are fighting this dreaded beast, you are true warriors, may the Lord be your strength through it all! God Bless you and yours.
Sincerely,
Gina (wife to Rudy)
