I have been on Lynparza for almost 3 months ,I have had many side effects in the beginning that made me almost give up ,but after a couple weeks I got used to it ,mostly physical exhaustion and depression ..but I am continued to be tumor free after ovarian 3 c ,so I will continue as long as it doesnâ??t prevent all quality of life presently

low hgb for the first 8 months but not as tired and now hgb is 12.5. Last CA 125 12.2. Just yesterday my dose has been reduced because of muscle and joint pain. These I can live with.

Comment:
Prescribed Lynparza after my first-line IV/IP chemo failed to achieve remission. After 10 weeks on Lynparza I was in remission and have remained so for 1 year so far. I was originally prescribed 400 mg (8 pills) twice per day. After experiencing some severe anemia, the dose was cut in half...all good since then.

Comment:
I take six pills twice a day and no food one hour before and after. I am exhausted and have sharp pain on occasion - abdominal and back. My CA125 has dropped significantly in just three months. We are hopeful for a remission. I'm feeling better than I have in two years!
