I have been taking it since the first of August. (2 tablets, 2x daily). My CA 125 score has gone up and down between 160-200, but the doc wants me to try it for 3 months. I will have a CT scan on Oct. 30 to see what is going on.

The thing I hate about taking Rubraca is that I lost all the wonderful energy I used to have. I feel an almost continuous pain in my abdomen so I take hydrocordon-aceteman and sometimes a morphine pill. I also lost my interest in eating and have to force myself to eat and then worry if what I ate will cause digestive problems of one extreme or the other. I am wondering about the quality of life vs. the quantity. I am 71 years old and was healthy all of life until last summer when diagnosed with OEC stage 3. Anyone else's take on all of this?
