Compakt trial

I have been on the Compakt trial for 29 weeks now and have had a good shrinkage in my cancer. The side effects were not too bad until recently. My problem is that I am now finding it difficult to take the tablets.. They make me feel unwell but my Consultant is keen for me to continue. Has anybody had similar problems?

Hi Mary-steel, I've also not heard if the trial and can't share any similar experiences I'm afraid. Is it that you can't physically swallow the tablets as that you know they will make you unwell or that the side effects mean that you want to stop taking them? You can always ring the freephone number for the OvaCome nurse and talk things over with her. I hope that you do get something sorted.

Take care
