My name is Robert, I've been battling stage 4 melanoma since last April. Immunotherapy w yervoy and opdivo. It was going well but then had a small bowel blockage in Aug. That set me back about 6 weeks. Last pet scan showed everything clear from my head to stomach but new lesions showed up in the incision area of the bowel resection. Dr then took me off the 2 meds and putting me on oral meds
The 2 meds r dabrafenib and trametlnib. Does anyone know about these meds. Thanks Robert

@wgv: I can empathize with your journey - I've been on pembrolizamub for nearly a year and for the past month have been struggling with significant colon issues. It's very possible I may wind up along the same treatment path as you.

Here's some information I've located: https://www.aimatmelanoma.org/wp-content/uploads/PAP-Dabrafenib-Trametinib-2024.pdf

Does that look helpful? Best of luck to you!
