started rucaparib!

I got my tablets today so have taken them for the first time this evening. No anaphylaxis, so that’s a much better start than my experiences with chemo! Here’s hoping it all continues smoothly - although I’ve been well briefed on likely fatigue, nausea etc

I have been on it for 2 years. Yes I get tired and my skin is super sun sensitive even with factor 50 but I’ve had very little nausea and so far so good.

Hi .I started these a few weeks ago and found it very difficult,but my oncologist reduced my dose to 1000 a day and I feel fine at the moment .

I always take them with food .

Good luck

Sheila

Same for me. Was wiped out on initial dose. Had a 2 week break then reduced rate and fatique lessened massively. I take a nanny nap most afternoons for about 1 hour.
