Great scans

I just found out today that my liver mets are gone, and the mets in my spine are shrinking. Ibrance failed for me, so I was worried, but this new drug seems to be working. I'm on lynparza only. Twice a day, four pills a day.

So Great!!! Can you tell us what sort of side effects go with this new drug. This is the first time I have seen that name lynparza?

Great news! I've not heard of this drug before either. Is it new?

The drug is new, the side effects are actually better than ibrance. I have occasional body aches that's really all. I am only 35, so I can probably tolerate some meds better than some people.

Great news! Is the new drug a chemo pill? Never heard of this drug before. I have a scan next month hoping and praying for great scans.

Its categorized as a chemo pill, but it works at repairing damaged brca 1 and 2 Gene's so it starves the cancer.

so do you have to have the BRAC gene to take this drug?

I haven't had much, occasionally I have body aches, minor fatigue. Much better than anything else I have taken

So glad for you. I think that's the drug my ONC wanted to put me on but I was BRCA negative. So I'm on afinitor and examastane right now, but they're testing me for Piqray. I have extensive liver mets.

Thats wonderful, I'm happy to hear that this new drug is working for you. Ibrance failed me as well and they want to start me on IV chemo its called Gemzar. I really don't want to start IV chemo, but they are telling that there's no other pill that i can take. 😥
