@pkappy Hi and welcome to Mayo Connect. It is awesome that the Lynparza is working for you. When did you start taking it? Do you experience any side effects? What chemo did you take prior to starting Lynparza? How did you respond to the previous chemo? Have you had any other treatment other than the Lynparza and chemo? 7 plus years is amazing. Thank you.

@tomrennie thank you for reading my post. i’ve been taking lynparza since August of 2019. prior to that in January of 2019 i was on chemo with folfirnox and Gembecide i think it’s called. i took to it pretty well and never missed a treatment in 600 hours (7 months) of chemotherapy. i an used to lynparza now. i might get a little fatigued but its saving my life i work every day and am grateful for that. i’m just lucky i guess. oh and my cancer is genetic so i think that helps too. i’m 62!years old. tumor markers are between 5 and 7 every month which is great. scans show no visual tumors for the past 6 years. the lynparza is keeping everything at bay
