Diagnosed in 2021 with high grade 4a. BRACA 1 & 2 negative but HRD positive. I had chemo, surgery, chemo and Avastin. My tumour analysis took a long time and I missed the cut off date for maintenance PARPS so I've been treatment free for a year. Currently NED, so still here leading a full life. Keep the hope!xxx

Hi Molste,

I’m not sure what you class as a success story, but I was diagnosed as Stage 4b, BRCA negative at the beginning of 2020. Had a few ups and downs, but at present on Niraparib and doing well on it. I am enjoying life - last year I had 2 holidays in Portugal and hoping to holiday again this year. I do have ‘off’ days, and I know my cancer is incurable, but I am still here and able to enjoy love and laughter with my family and friends - for me that’s a success. Good luck with your journey.

I was diagnosed in 2017 stage 3b HGS ovarian/PPC , BRACA negative. No maintenance as they didn’t give it then unless you’d had a recurrence. I’m still here and doing well, various surgical complications with my bowel and digestive issues but enjoying life and feeling well in myself . Good luck with everything x x

I was diagnosed in Oct. 2019 with stage 4. I don’t have the braca gene ( negative), but I was on Niraparib for 3 years after chemo and debulking op. I’m still NED for 41/2 years now. The niraparib dose was lowered to 100 mgs., but I still had side effects that were bothersome. On and off . Sometimes I wonder if I could have stopped niraparib after two years instead of three years. I see a hematologist now, because of anemia from the drug. My last blood test was better, so that is good. Sending best wishes xx

Hi Liz chips,thanks for replying is clear cell similar to mucinous and did chemo work for you by your results I'd say yes

I'm not sure how similar cancer was, but I've have been fortunate . That question you would have to ask your Dr. I was diagnosed stage 3c2. Advanced cancer. 💜 Liz
