Hi Ladies, I hope you are in fighting good health!
So: for those of you who have either been in the trials, or simply been prescribed either of these two parps, and particularly for those who are BRCA1 positive, here is my question:
Has anyone had slow progression from the beginning with slowly rising CA-125 and growth visible of cancer nodules, in the first months under this regime, but then had the progression cease and the cancer begin to shrink after three months?
This is probably wishful thinking on my part as I am due for my four month chat with my Oncologist.
Just hoping that maybe it will reverse itself.
If not, I am planning to push for a switch to Olaparib.
I still feel that I tolerated 200 mgs of Niraparib too well, and my cancer needed 300 msg thrown at it, so if I can’t switch, I want a higher dose!
My appointment is two weeks away, but I still fuss over it...
Thanks for your help,
Laura
