Ok my mom started zel early July 4 tabs 2 times a day and get a grade 4 itchy rash off until July 21 restarted 3 tabs 2 times a day after 5 days she has been taken off due to breathing difficulties and flu like symptoms until August 8 then she will try 2 tabs 2 a day. Not sure what is next if she can’t do zel. I asked about switching her to dabrafenib and they are checking to see if it is available in our area and if her insurance co is willing to pay.
We had to go to a private organization for help with the copay for the zel .does anyone have any information on the cost of dabrafenib.or any idea what our next step should be.
We don’t have a melanoma specialist close enough to see and she is unwilling to travel. But thankfully her oncologist is good and willing to check out everything I ask about.
Thank you all so much we would have not made it this far without all of you.
