Lynparza (olaparib) "I’ve been taking Lynparza for nearly two years. I have some side effects, including diarrhea, vomiting and fatigue, all of which are manageable. My tumors shrank quickly after starting and I’ve had no further disease progression. I consider Lynparza a wonder drug!"

Lynparza (olaparib) "I had TNBC with BRCA1 mutation and had complete pathologic response after chemo and mastectomy. Four years later I was diagnosed with a recurrence in my supraclavucal lymph node and multiple nodules in lungs. I was on Lynparza alone for 10 months until it recently stopped working. I had very few side effects that subsided within a few weeks and from that moment on I didn't feel I had cancer or had any side effects. I was able to do everything and lead a very active life style. Unfortunately, Olaparib no longer works and I'm starting something else. I wish I could be on Lynparza forever. Best quality of life ever."

Lynparza (olaparib) "I am currently on Lynparza for 7 weeks. My dr monitors my bloodwork every two weeks. My dosage was just doubled after 6 weeks. I seem to have few side effects. Once I managed the side effects I was able to live normally. I can post update in 6 weeks."

"I have breast cancer reoccurrence and I’m now triple negative brca 1 positive. My dr started me on Lynparza 300 mg for first 4 weeks. I am now at 600 mg for 3 months. I do have some side effects. Headaches, feet tingling, loss of appetite and back pain on right side. I see my dr every two weeks to monitor my blood work. It’s still too early to say what’s working. I’ll have scans in a few weeks. I can post after."
