        Great question, I started taf/mek in early November and having great response, we just started Keytruda in addition to Taf/mek last week and will likely go off Taf mek after another month or 2.  My feeling is to get off taf/mek before it stops working then you have that to fall back on. Seems to me most stay on taf/mek too long then it comes back more aggressive, I am not waiting for it to come back more aggressive.

                          Thank you all for the comments and support, treatments sometimes seem like a roll of the dice and we hope to get lucky I guess on that treatment that works for us!
