Olaparib dose reduction
I've been on
Olaparib
and Avastin for 2 weeks following frontline chemo for OC and already I've been told to stop because my white blood cells are way too low. I was on 600mg
Olaparib
and the nurse said to have a break and then if bloods improve to start again on a lower dose.

Not able to tolerate olaparib, anyone?
Dear Lovelies, I have now developed severe low haemoglobin twice in the 4 months I have been on
olaparib
- four blood transfusions in total and am off
olaparib
for the second time. I am BRCa 2 , so really had great hopes as Brca2’s tend to respond well on this drug, cancerwise. .

Here we go again probably!
I’ve been on
Olaparib
for 2 years but my ca125 has suddenly gone up to 50 last month and 92 this month. Feeling gutted and will be getting a scan. I suppose I just want to know how many have had remission again after a 2nd recurrence?

Olaparib & private healthcare
Has anyone managed to get their private healthcare provider to fund
Olaparib
the PARP inhibitor? (Or any others?) We’ve always had BUPA cover through hubby’s work but his new job doesn’t give it.

Treatment Options at 2nd recurrence.
I was NED in December and went on
Olaparib
in January but my scan in May showed that it wasn't working. I have also been told that surgery is not an option now.

Options
Well, I’ve had one year now with chemo and I’m on maintenance of Avastin and
Olaparib
. Should I have insisted on surgery? Does anyone without surgery survive for any length of time? I would be very grateful to hear from you lovely ladies. X

PARP inhibitors on NHS
- After first OC I believe now
Olaparib
is offered (sadly I’m ‘too long’ post chemo to qualify 🙄) Is it available for 2 years only? After first occurrence- Rucaparib? Or is it Niraparib? Is so, for how long? After second recurrence-
Olaparib
? Again for how long?

Olaparib and Avastin
Last month, a few days after the avastin and
olaparib
, I had a weekend of terrible headaches, stomach ache and vomitting. On the Monday I rang the hospital and they advised me to come in. Typical .. I wasnt sick once while there, it was as if it had cleared up that day.

Olaparib (Lynparza) on its own or with Avastin for maintenance?
I am BRCA1 and have been told by my consultant that I can have
Olaparib
(Lynparza) on its own or with Avastin too. She is thinking that maybe
Olaparib
on its own may be the best option to reduce side effects but she said the decision is mine.

Not suitable for surgery
I’ve had 6 rounds of chemo and am now on three weekly Avastin and daily
Olaparib
. I read lots of success stories but you all seem to have had debulking surgery. Is there anyone out there like me? X

Etoposide vs weekly taxol advice
After completing 6 rounds of chemotherapy she was back in remission and was put on
Olaparib
( she is BRCA negative) in October. Her latest scan results shows liver metastasis and she has been offered to go on weekly taxol OR an oral chemotherapy drug called Etoposide.
