On November 23 of this month my oncologist will start me on lynparza 250 am and 250 pm. Would like to know if this is the usual amount or should discuss a lesser amount I am so afraid of taking another drug since I had such a terrible experiencewiththis med I was diagnosed with stage 4 serious ovarian cancer April 2021

I can’t speak to your reaction to zejula, peppermentcandy, but I empathize with your worries about another drug. I’ve had some bad side effects, and they make me nervous. I think this is a part of the illness experience that doesn’t get enough attention. I hope you’re doing better now.
