Hi friends, just wanted to post for those who may have lost a bit of hope like I had. 2nd recurrence in less than a year, my onc said no more chemo, rising ca125, tried Olaparib, etc but referred me to lovely prof Jayson at Christie’s. I feel like I may make 53 now. So many options, never give up on living and being positive about each day.😚 xx

Good on you! Keep up that positive attitude lovely and keep on fighting, its so fantastic when our teams give us something positive to fight with i think they underestimate the effect that has for us every day.Wishing you better luck with this part of your journey, and knickers to it aim for 60! 😂 xx

Thank you so much for positive news. Niraparib stopped working for me, so watchful waiting until more chemo and feeling rather despondent. Given me more hope.

Hi, It's wonderful that there was another option to give you more hope. Was prof Jayson able to offer more treatment options or better support? Just ignore if I'm being too nosy but I have only recently become aware of how limited the options are and had to take a bit of a hard look at my perceived timeline.

Best wishes to you. xxx

I know exactly how you feel and I was aware that taxol was not an option but Prof J has multiple treatments in his tool box that my local cancer centre do not have. Don’t give up, at my consultation I felt like a kid in a sweet shop, never did I think that I would view chemo regimes with such enthusiasm! Bex xx

Thank you so much for sharing. It felt a bit like a final count down with very limited tools, mainly because the onc gets a bit vague when I try to push for " and then what?" but that sounds encouraging.I hope you find what works best for you. xx
