Hi All
I am 45 years old and in July this year I was diagnosed with Stage IIC high grade serous tubo-ovarian cancer. My cancer was found in my left Fallopian tube and I had a 16cm cyst on my right ovary which was cancerous.
My operation consisted of a Laparotomy with bilateral salpingo-ophorectomy, hysterectomy, omentecomy, pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy - complete resection.
I also have Germline BRCA1 mutation.
I am due to have my sixth chemotherapy infusion next week of Carboplatin and Taxol.
When I spoke with my nurse she said that I wouldn’t be entitled to go on a par inhibitor after chemotherapy, however as I have the BRCA 1 gene I thought that I would. Has anyone been in the same situation and if so what medication if any was offered after chemotherapy.
Thank you in advance for any replies
Katy
