Thank you for your response. Yes, it is the old school chemo the doctor is referring to. We are actually considering to go with Zelboraf, as you mentioned that chemo would be ineffective in melanoma. So, now if I only go with Zelboraf and not the cobination of BRAF inhibitors, would that help?

Thank you for your quick response. Really appreciate it!
The doctors have actually prescribed only Zelboraf not the combination of Vemurafenib (Zelboraf) and cobimetinib (Cotellic) or dabrafenib (Tafinlar) and trametinib (Mekinist). Whereas, after taking second opinion, the other doc asked to go us with the traditional chemo therapy (since Zelboraf is not readily available in India, and is very expensive, if imported).
Hence, I wanted to be sure that if I am spending on Zelboraf, how effective would it be, and what if the side effects would worsen the case?
