              Is there anyone taking zelboraf and turmeric? I was taking zelboraf and added turmeric daily and my liver enzymes went through the roof. I had to go off both and let the enzymes come back to normal. I have been back on the Zelboraf for several months and am doing fine. I would like to add the turmeric back in but am afraid of bumping my liver enzymes again. does anyone have experience taking both without problems?

                                hey did you take zelboraf prior to taking yervoy? just wondering. I have been taking zelboraf for 14 months and now it seems like one of my tumors is slowly growing the other 4 are no longer visible on ct. My dr wants me to switch to yervoy if this one coninue to grow. I'm hoping to continue to work if I switch. Are you having good results from the Yervoy?
