Hey everyone.
Hey everyone.
Just wanted to put an update out here that I started on a new trial this week. It's a MEK and PI3K inhibitor trial. The drugs are MEK162 and BMK120. I'm in the trial at Massachusetts General. Yesterday was my first day of the trial. I'm already experiencing some vision side effects, which is a little concerning, but the doctor said that my body will adjust to the medicine as I continue to take it and the vision should get better. I feel like I have some light sensitivity, but they said it's most likely fluid buildup behind my retina. Eye side effects are a well known issue with these drugs and I'm seeing an eye doctor ever one or two weeks.
Does anyone out there have experience with a MEK and PI3K trial? I'm not sure that there have been a whole lot of people on these trials yet for Melanoma.
