Post total hysterectomy, etc., one cycle of carboplatin (couldn't tolerate paclitaxel) and now on Avastin i/v and Olaparib. CA 9, which is fantastic.
Side effects are just destroying me. I am 80, the Olaparib goes through to mid June 2026 and the Avastin finishes at the end of this year. Oncologist says if quality of life is declining, we can consider other options.
Is there anyone out there who has interrupted the Olaparib and Avastin and if so, what was the thinking surrounding the decision? Did the cancer return?
If I interrupt the Ola and Avastin therapy and the cancer returns, would I need to go through carboplatin again or can I pick up where I left off?
Thanks for any opinions you have on this.
