I'm not taking anything. I had OC in 2017 and then again in 2020. Took Lynparza for about 1.5 years and then I had to quit as I couldn't tolerate it anymore. I just pray every day and enjoy life.

Zejula(Naraparib) Been taking for 4 years. Never a recurrence . I wondered how then would they know it was this drug that kept me NED, since they have nothing to base it on.

Hi Heidelberg, I was just reading that you were on Niraparib for four years. I have been NED on Niraparib for three years. I was on a 100 mgs. dose and they took me off this after taking for three years. I had some side effects once in awhile which I took a break off sometimes. I had some UTIs this past year and also my hemoglobin was low a few times which I had a transfusion for. I know this drug can affect our blood in different ways and I was just wondering if you were doing well taking this for four years. I have been ned since I started my chemos, surgery and niraparib. It is always a thought when if I would have been ned without Niraparib, but I decided to try it. Anyways, I hope I can continue being cancer free for a long time, but we never know what this disease wants to return again. Hope you can stay ned . I do feel better on no drugs right now, so fingers crossed that things will go alright. Take care, Donna xx 🥰
