Well.. My update to my last post is not how I thought it would be.. My husband tried a second round of Taf/Mek after it failing the 1st time. He made it 12 weeks this time. He had a repeat MRI and catscan After having to take him to the e.r. For severe head and ear pain. He was admitted due to complications to the progression of the disease. Even on treatment he developed new brain mets, total of 18 now. Ranging in size 10mm all the way up to 3x3cm and is starting to invade the dura on his right temporal lobe..All mets now have started all to hemorrhage. An increase in steroids and anti seizure meds seem to be doing nothing!! Docs are not hopeful being that he is almost 1 year diagnosed. This disease is horrible!!!

My husband developed a grade 3 rash from the Opdivo. Ended up having to discontinue the treatment and have high doses of prednisone over a period of 12 weeks. Over the counters didn't work. He is now on a reduced dosage of the Tafinlar /Mekinist due to the reactions from that the 1st time he tried it. Good Luck To You!
