Here's some information about three main BRAF inhibitors Vemurafenib, Dabrafenib, Sorafenib:

I'd also like to introduce you to @audrapopp @meg4434 @ecdhope @daniellemarie, who've shared their or their loved ones experiences with these targeted therapies. @minnniceguy, could you share more about the side effects that concern you the most?
