Niraparib "Maart 2021 kreeg ik te horen dat ik eierstokkanker heb fase 4. Na 6 maanden chemo, elke week kreeg ik te horen dat ik niet in aanmerking kwam voor een operatie en palliatief was. Men stelde me Zejula voor om mijn tijd te kunnen verlengen. Begonnen in oktober 2021 en tot hier toe zeer tevreden. Mijn lichaam aanvaardt het op lichte bijwerkingen zoals vermoeidheid en constipatie na. Ik neem elke avond 200 gr. Tot nu toe dus gunstig effect, hopen dat dit zo mag blijven maar oncoloog was gisteren toch heel positief. We blijven ervoor gaan."

"Have been on niraparib now for just 2 weeks - already had a 2-night stay in the hospital with bowel blockage. Started on 300 mg nightly, now reduced to 200 mg. Diagnosed Stage 2 in November 2016, 3 major surgeries including bowel resection after bowel damage in the 2nd surgery. 3 full cycles of chemo - chemo my best friend. Last chemo completed December 2020, cancer still in the abdomen only. BRCA negative. Scared to be taking this drug, but apart from the chemo, it’s my lifeline at the moment. Ca 125 @ 14 and stable. Finding dealing with this while managing an ileostomy stoma is a day-by-day issue. Been very positive through my journey up to now, held up a full-time job with an understanding employer. Hoping to have positive feedback after another month or so. So great to hear all the feedback, both good and bad. Keep well all."

Niraparib "Took for 3 months, platelets and hemoglobin have never returned to normal, requiring transfusions, and I had a stroke. Been off the drug now for 2 months, had another transfusion two days ago."

Niraparib "Zejula has not helped me, and my doctor has said I should not continue taking it. I had just gotten a 90-day supply (180 100-mg pills). Pill containers are still sealed."
