My husband was diagnosed 3/12 with BRAF mets, 13 to be exact. He had just retired 20 yrs military, then diagnosed. He still took a job at Lowes to keep busy! Hit a rough patch last fall/winter… mainly due to swelling and quit Lowes, but things seem to be getting back to normal. Just found out yesterday all his tumors are shrinking thanks to 14 mos of Zelboraf, 2 Gamma Knife treatments (there will be a third) and currently dual treatment Yervoy with Dabradenib/ Trametinib. Labs have been great, so far so good!STAY STRONG and keep a Positive Mind & Attitude!! I know it seems difficult to even grasp that concept, but you must… it will get you thru and you really have no other option.
Hang in there, Kelly

Hello! 17 treatments of WBR…. did not work.. that was the only treatment that didn’t work. As for side effects, he did great with radiation. Best of luck to you and your wife. Stay strong and positive.. I know, easier said sometimes, but what choice do we really have? Damn cancer. -
