Olaparib week 1!

[Onlygrace]

Hi All,

Hope everyone is keeping well.

I'm a newbie with a 1st time post ever. I had a Breast Cancer relapse in my stomach. Thank God the tumours shrank after 4 cycles and now on Olaparib. I'm on day 4 and feel awful - been in bed since yesterday with Nausea, slight tension headache and fatigue. I'm wondering if anyone could kindly share their experience when they started. Thank you so much.

Hi Grace, I'm not on a parp yet but from what I've heard and your symptoms I would say drink, drink, and more drink as much as you can. Take care Sue xx

HI-

I'VE BEEN ON OLAPARIB FOR A YEAR AND A HALF NOW. HE NAUSEA WILL GET MUCH BETTER AS WELL AS THE FATIGUE. TRY TO EAT SOMETHING BEFORE YOU TAKE IT, THAT HAS HELPED ME. ALSO, IT TAKES TIME BUT YOU WILL ADJUST TO IT AND THE SIDE EFFECTS GET MUCH BETTER.

FEEL BETTER!
