Hi , I am on a low dose of Lynparza after having it a year ago and having side effects , my blood counts dropped a lot and my Dr stopped it.I am now starting it again with a low dose which will be increased if all goes well . I get muscle aches mainly in my legs and some lower back pain and decreased appetite. I try to eat smaller meals more often .

I sometimes get gas pains under my ribs , but they are not constant and go if I change positions. Good luck when you check with your Dr . GILL Mookie Fox 1234

Hi Clifden1, yes I have pain under my ribs, but it isn't painful until I touch or press that area, not sure if it it is due to Olaparib? I will ask at my CNS nurse....I hadn't even thought to bring it up?I hope otherwise you are doing well with your treatment 😊

Will let you know if I get any answers or if you do , let me know. Thanks 😊x
