Feeling like Chemo is too Hard
I was diagnosed 3B HG in August 2018, had surgery, frontline, first recurrence ( carbo and caelyx/doxil), 3 years of
Olaparib
, one year on nothing and now am having carboplatin alone for second recurrence. My oncologist said this would be relatively easy.

Lynparza for bone/liver mets - success?
I will be switching from Enhertu (was on Enhertu for a year) to lynparza/
olaparib
. Has anyone had success with a parp helping get rid of bone/ liver metastasis for stage 4 breast cancer? Or keeping things stable? And if so, for how long? Thanks for any info and/or experiences.

Elevated ASTs/ ALTs on Lyparza/ Olaparib
Hello everyone, My dad started
Olaparib
/ Lynparza about 5 weeks ago for the BRCA2 mutation. He is tolerating it well without side effects thus far. Has anyone ever had elevated LFT's with this medication?

Rising CA125- confused !!
Great results after chemo, debulking op and 2 years on
Olaparib
. The last 5 months my CA125 has been rising the most recent being 742 . I've had 2 scans and no sign of cancer but I do have hernia and gall stones in my bile ducts.

Lynparza/ Olaparib
Hi everyone- after my dad met with his oncologist regarding the mild progression he had- he will be switching to Lynparza/
Olaparib
for the BRCA2 gene. He was on Ibrance, Letrozole, and Lupron for 15/16 months started in June of 2022, but she feels it is time for a switch.

Any ladies had cytoreductive surgery for recurrence?
From June started on
Olaparib
600 g per day which should have reduced/kept at bay the cancer left. Just got CT scan results yesterday the cancer has grown over Spleen and a new tumour near stomach. PARP
Olaparib
hasn’t worked for me! I’m BRAC2 it should have done!

Coming off Olaparib
I'm in a bit of a tailspin as I may need to stop taking
Olaparib
due to breathlessness side effect. It's taken me back to all those worries about survival rates (I have Stage 4a ovarian cancer).

Leukemia as a side effect of Olaparib
After 3 months I'll have a bone marrow biopsy to see if going off
olaparib
is really what caused it. I'm crushed. I may be approaching that tiny category of patient who gets AML as a side effect of my "life saving"
olaparib
. Is anyone else here with me? Or heard of anyone else who is?

Caelyx and hair loss
I'm still asymptomatic thanks to
Olaparib
and Avastin. Just got my hair back, didn't came as it was before. this second time came much thinner. It might sound redundant as im facing serious illness: I really don't want to loose this hair.

Recap and update
I have consented to Avastin and
Olaparib
. Onc said I could ask for second opinion from Christina Fitapalou but she said surgery would be radical with no guarantees she will get it all.

Hello, do you find the cost of olaparib very high?
I have been prescribed
olaparib
and my insurance covers it, but my cost is extremely high. I am trying for assistance.

Abiraterone + Olaparib: ASCO GU 2024 Highlights: BRCAAway Trial
"Highlighting the trial's results, he notes the combination therapy significantly extended median radiographic progression-free survival to 39 months, far surpassing the outcomes with either treatment alone. " 39 months progression free is not bad at all... https://www.urotoday.com/video-lectures/asco-gu

Olaparib tum
Hi fellow
Olaparib
users . I’ve been on
Olaparib
for 3 .5 years now . Recently developing bouts of gut discomfort and diarrhoea. Have to say up until now on the drug , it’s always been rather the opposite . On the literature it says diarrhoea is a common side effect .

Good news
After a debulking surgery, pleural infusion drainage, and chemo, she started taking
Olaparib
and the disease has been stable since. I just wanted to share the good news with you, as she had a PET scan this month, 4 years from the diagnosis, and it showed stable disease!!!

Constipation from PARPS
Can you tell me your experience about being on
Olaparib
. Seems more people have diarhea than constipation. I am in Canada and I am followed by a nurse who takes care of the patients on PARPS. I haven't had the chance to speak with her because of the holidays.
