  Thanks for sharing, sweetie! But this might actually give you more information about all three BRAF inhibitors (Vemurafenib/Zelboraf, Dabrafenib/Tafinilar, Encorafenib/Braftovi) and the three MEK inhibitors (Trametinib/Mekinist, Cobimetinib/Cotellic, Binimetinib/Mektovi) – https://www.melanoma.org/understand-melanoma/melanoma-treatment/targeted-therapy
  
  Not to mention, we don't have to wait for info from somebody who asked some un-named somebody!!!! We got our own canaries in the coal mine:  https://www.melanoma.org/find-support/patient-community/mpip-melanoma-patients-information-page/braftovimektovi
  
  Then there are the wonderful folks here who are willing to share their own experiences, as well as those who are willing to plow through the research, written and video, and give it directly to the peeps who need it!!  https://www.melanoma.org/find-support/patient-community/mpip-melanoma-patients-information-page/new-targeted-therapy-approved
  
  Hope this helps answer more questions you might have!!! Yours, celeste
