For Ovarian Cancer "My diagnosis was primary peritoneal cancer. I had 4 chemo treatments with excellent results, followed by the removal of the uterus and omentum, and 3 more chemo rounds. Started Lynparza about a month after the last chemo and now at 20 months. 4 months to go. Slightly low blood counts, slight nausea. Fatigue has been sometimes debilitating, but worth it for good CA-125 and clean scans. Looking forward to going off it."

"I've been on Lynparza for 4 months now for esophageal cancer and just had a PET scan. I was in stage 4. No evidence of disease, all has resolved. Extremely grateful to be offered this drug. I have very few side effects, some mild nausea at times. I have a debt of gratitude to the scientist who developed Lynparza."
