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!"

Olaparib "I had TNBC with BRCA1 mutation and had a complete pathologic response after chemo and mastectomy. Four years later, I was diagnosed with a recurrence in my supraclavicular lymph node and multiple nodules in my 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 lifestyle. Unfortunately, Olaparib no longer works, and I'm starting something else. I wish I could be on Lynparza forever. Best quality of life ever."

Olaparib "I am currently on Lynparza for 7 weeks. My doctor 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 an update in 6 weeks."

"I have breast cancer recurrence, and I’m now triple negative BRCA 1 positive. My doctor started me on Lynparza 300 mg for the 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 the right side. I see my doctor 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."
