non-V600E BRAF Mutant NSCLC

I have just been advised to start taking Dabrafenib & Trametinib.  Does anyone have any experience with taking these tablets?  I have had cancer for 11 years. 2 lobes of Right lung removed with large tumour in 2014.  Three reocurences but in left lung. Various chemotherapy treatments ablation & wedge resection.  I have once again experienced growth in one node and appearance of another tumour, since last CT Scan 2 months ago.  I am now considered inoperable as the tumours are at top of top lobe and bottom of bottom lobe of left lung.  My only treatment being these tablets.  I wonder how long I will be able to take these tablets.  Any advise out there?

  • Hi Lilliput,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. My reply here will give your post a little boost, so a few more people should see it and hopefully you'll get some more replies - particularly if others with similar experience see it.

    We have some information on Dabrafenib and trametinib on our website, and also this page on Dabrafenib, in case this is useful.

    For any specific questions, do of course speak to your doctor as they will be best placed to advise.

    Wishing you all the best and I hope that this forum can be helpful for you,
