I have been on Carboplatin & Taxol, Carboplatin & Doxel, Avastin, Topotecan, Gemzar, and now Carboplatin & Taxol. Am being encouraged to go on Zejula. Is it worth it? I feel reasonably good now, mainly get tired.
KimB,
I was told that is what the studies from the manufacturer has indicated. Most of the other PARP inhibitors are 2 years but Zejula is 3.
@A MyOvarianCancerTeam Member I don't know the reasoning, but my doctor also says 3 years for Zejula... So I have one year to go.
It’s good to try a PARP inhibitor as long as you can get it for free. Some women have success with these drugs. I tried Lynparza but my cancer came back anyway, so I’m glad I didn’t spend any money on it.
It is worth it because it’s designed to keep the cancer from coming back.
