olaparib

[Luylu]

Just wondering if anyone has experience with olaparib? I now have metastases in my liver as well as bones. I started carboplatin chemo last week after failed docetaxel and carparvotaxel treatments. Olaparib has been mentioned as a possible treatment.

Useless (and highly toxic) unless you are BRCA+. Have you had Pluvicto?

[Luylu in reply to Tall_Allen]

thank you Tall_Allen. Pluvicto has not been offered as yet. Is it more effective?

[Tall_Allen in reply to Luylu]

More effective than what?

[Luylu in reply to Tall_Allen]

Than Olaparib?

[Tall_Allen in reply to Luylu]

As I said, olaparib only works if you are BRCA+. Are you?

I have BRCA2 mutation. Olaparib worked for 7 months for me. I’m now on cabazitaxel.

Did you experience any side effects from Olaparib?

Hello,

you should take olaparib (Lynparza) only if you are BRCA positive. In EU it is approved even for non-BRCA positive patients, but please read this post: healthunlocked.com/advanced...
