        My husband has been taking Zelboraf and Yervoy together for about 18 months now.  He gets the Yervoy every 12 weeks and currently takes Zelboraf 2 pills twice a day, he was on three pills twice a day but choose to decrease to help with side effects.  He has been NED for 15 months.  He has scan on Monday to see how he is doing.  Side effects of the two combine can be rough.  Some days he feels drain and has little energy but other days he feel sbetter.  He can get very itchy after the Yervoy along with some nausea and dizziness.   About 10 days after infusion he gets IV fluids to help with nausea and dizziness which seems to help.  His labs have been good with the combination but I knw they were having problem swith the clincal trial with liver labs being off and causing some issues.  My husband has not had any brain mets and has not had radiation.
