Delayed Lynparza (Olaparib)Reaction

I started Lynparza (Olaparib) on 5/19 (PSA 172). By 7/5 (+7 weeks ) my PSA was 222 and it was decided to discontinue the drug, get a port, and prepare for chemo. At the first chemo appt on 8/10 (+12 weeks), the blood test showed that my PSA had fallen to 194. The general literature says you evaluate the efficacy of Lynparaza at eight weeks which is what we did. Has anyone else experienced a delayed PSA drop like this? The Docetaxel has failed and we are considering a switch back to Lynparza.
