              Glad he is improving. I also get recurrent oral thrush. I was told it was the steroids I was on and was given Fluconazole which cleared it. Then I started zelboraf and it reoccurred and was told was unable to have Fluconazole due to interactions. How worrying that an oncologist wasn’t aware of this. Hopefully he will become physically stronger soon. I know that I feel exhausted and a bit low in mood but I do think this is because I’ve started taking the Zelboraf again after a break.
              Wishing you both positive things.

                How is he tolerating the Zelboraf now? I had similar issues, had two bad reactions and was taken off for a week, given anti histamines and reduced dose of Z. Always spiking a fever, extensive rash, sore feet, eye problems, bad taste, poor appetite.
                Now have been back on Z for 3 days…6 tablets per day. Ok so far but early days I guess.
                I have metastatic melanoma of brain and lungs and in early stages of treatment. I have had whole brain radiotherapy initially.
                I hope he is tolerating it now as there are some good results coming through from it. Best wishes.
