I agree with you I am 2 years in remission and it seems like there isn’t a lot of information to help me stay in remission. I do try to exercise and eat well but what else can I do. I was on Zejula for the past 2 years and recently was stopped by my oncologist and the drug recommendations. Is there anything else out there that I could do to help me improve my chances to stay in remission? I am BRCA 1 & 2 neg and wondering if anyone else has any recommendations…Thank You and wishing you all well!!
Hi jb, took a break here. I’m in my late 60s , been 3 months since front line, and advised to take lynparza. I have copd, and vascular issues, very concerned about taking this. Thought it would be good idea to communicate with others in our age group. All of this is scary, not that it isn’t for the younger.
So happy to hear you’re 3 years out, did you have maintenance and what did you use and experience?
I love that you’re in remission, it’s hard to just let go of it, leave it in the past! Lol
I’m working at building my body back up, exercising and walking. Neuropathy gets me at night, took a couple gabapentin and fish oil, seems to be helping some. Use to walk 5 to 10 miles a day. Starting all over, trying to keep my spirits up and attention focused and persevere!
Thought this age group would be established, no offense to anyone. Glad you reached out.
