      Has anybody compketed the one year protocol of Dabrafenib-trametinib combo as adjuvant therapy? Though I am currently on Opdivo and completed Interferon in 2011 I have a peer support friend who recently completed the Dabrafenib-trametinib as adjuvant therapy and is wondering when her energy level will climb
      Anybody who has gone through this, if you could let me know your experience it would be a great help.

          I did a full 2 years on the combo as a stage 4 patient. When I stopped, which was 17 months ago, It took a good 3-4 months for my energy/stamina to pick up. I’m 53 and initially did a year of interferon in 2014. Since I was on something or recovering from something since then, I’m not really sure if I’m at “normal”. But you can tell your friend that it definite does get better!!

              Thank you. As I said I was on Interferon in 2010 for a year, currently on Nivolumab adjuvant so I ,or she, could find no personal experiences to help guide through expectations. Again Thank you.
