I am BRCA 1+ and took Lynparza for 2 years with minimal side effects. I have been off for 7 mos. now. Next month it will be 3 years since my debulking surgery with HIPEC. Knock on wood, my last CT scan was clear and my CA125 is still low.

I was on Lynparza for three months. The CT-Scan showed no improvement. I previously was on carboplatin for 8 cycles, also showed no improvement.
My next choice was Doxil or Hospice. I decided to do nothing. I have been 11 years stage 4 epithelial serous ovarian cancer. I am leaving my life up to God. I’m not ready to go into hospice or be sick with chemo side effects. My body is tired.

Hi Montgo, I have also just started with 600 a day of Lynparza, been on it for about two weeks Aside from a slight nausea, no other side effects, keeping my fingers crossed. Haven't heard of anybody taking it for more than two years though. Taking everything one day at a time, nobody can tell you with any degree of certainty what's in store for us. Praying that our remissions will last forever. Hugs, my teal sister. 😀

Hi Toni! I have been on 450 mg of Lynparza for 2 years with minimal side effects, mainly just fatigue. My new doctor wants to take me off at the beginning of the year. I just hope there is no recurrence any time soon. Kinda nervous about it.

I was on 400 mg/day of Lynparza for 8 months. Stopped for 5 weeks due to bad side effects. Went back on 300 mg/day for about 2 months but cancer came back. I am BRCA negative. Lynparza doesn't work as well or maybe not at all on BRCA negative. PS Lynparza didn't work. Cancer is back. Chemo again with worse side effects.
