Morning folks,
Just an update on my experience with Lynparza.
Started 1/7 on full dose of 600 mg per day. It really kicked me down hard and so yesterday I started on 400 mg per day to see if tolerance is better.
The SEs have been quite similar to the double chemo last summer but not quite as severe. Lymphedema in lower legs and feet has returned and even though swelling not as severe I am now weeping from both feet. Also a lot of pain in feet and can manage somewhat with NSAIDs but hate taking them regularly. Any guidance on pain management would be appreciated. Went to podiatrist yesterday for first time and he did a compression wrap and we set up home health to help as well.
We did a baseline scan last week and MO was pleased that I was stable on progression from scan last August. Several Mets lymph nodes, liver and bone, but holding stable. Scan also showed pulmonary edema. Bloodwork showed low sodium and calcium but we got those numbers back in line.
Younger son getting married end of May and MO said we could take a holiday from Lynparza for a couple of weeks before that to help better enjoy.
Always looking for feedback from the warriors on how to best navigate this minefield, knowing full well how blessed I am to actually be here at all.
Fight on, never give up, ever.
