        Following as I just recently began on this combo as well. On lowest dosages due to uveitis and retinal detachment on Cobi/vemurafenib combo. Had Keytruda in between and although it had positive results in my body, I developed brain mets and colitis so had to stop Keytruda.
        All this to say that the combo so far, very similar to the other braf combos is a roulette wheel of side effects; you can spin the wheel every day and not have two days of symptoms be the same. Bone pain, arthritis type pain, face pain, rashes and stomach issues already in the first week for me. I find the stomach pains are helped by small meals and ginger candy/chews.
