What are treatment options for BRAF-positive thyroid cancer?

I am wondering if anyone has had BRAF treatment for their thyroid cancer and could educated me on the side effects?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Thyroid Cancer Support Group.

@cmhw, here is a good article about BRAF mutations and thyroid cancer, including how they are treated.

Fellow members like @maryny23 @sweettoothd @carolinanurse @jpuntasecca also have BRAF positive thyroid cancer and can share their experiences.

CMHW, what treatment has been recommended for you?

Hi, my mother got diagnosed with poorly differentiated thyroid cancer and has the BRAF and TERT mutations. They are considering starting targeted therapy. Have you started any kind of treatment?
