Thank you for taking the time to respond to me. I have been taking Lynparza for 6 months. In the beginning I had no side effects except for being a little more tired. But in the last few months I am seeing more GI issues. Lots of gas (burping and flatulence) and loose bowels. Sometimes right after I eat.
I have IBS which doesn't help to decide where the problem lays. So I was just wandering if anybody else experienced what is happening right now. Definitely make going out and eating out difficult.

Yes I mentioned in another post that I was feeling anxious. I have done everything I could and now this unknown is very scary for me. I go every 3 months for scans. Trying hard to live every day and not think about it but sometimes this is more difficult to do.

I feel good and listen to my body.

Hope you are doing well. Again thank you.

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.
