I was Lynparza for 6 months and my side effects occurred when I first started taking it. After my first dose I broke out in an itchy red rash. I had to start taking Benadryl before I took the Lynparza. I had nausea for the first 6 weeks that was controlled by Zofran. I had a lot of stiffness and muscle aches along with fatigue. The nausea went away but the fatigue and stiff and aches never stopped. I never had the GI issues. It didn't end up working for me. I'm BRCA and HRD negative. Hang in there if it's working for you. My oncologist said it doesn't work on everybody but on those it does it can be a miracle.
