is this combination very effective usually? Have you heard of it working for non brca (but very mutated) cancer?

It doesn't work well if there are no BRCA mutations, and is not FDA-approved for non-BRCA+:

BRCA2+ here. MO took me off Zytiga/Prednisone when I started Lynparza

It's approved in EU for non-BRCA+ patients but beware and please read: healthunlocked.com/advanced...

I have just learned I am BRCA2+. MO said to stop Zytiga and Prednisolone and wait 4 weeks for it to wash out of system, then start Lynparza.
