      How long until this starts working?  Does anyone have first hand experience?

       

      My husband is almost on his 3rd round, plus tafinlar, and showing no signs of getting better.  Lots of pain and tumors getting bigger.

          I was never officially a responder but I've been on it 14 months because it slowed things down. I'm wanting to say it was right before my 5th dose they scanned and saw 18 of 30 tumors shrank. However I could tell something was helping by the 2nd dose. Hope the pd1 taf combo helps your husband soon.
