Is anyone else taking Lynparza (olaparib)? How are you doing?

@kdmsk8s, welcome and congrats on getting into the trial. Neuropathy is not usually a side effect of Lynparza (olaparib), although I would discuss the risk of worsening neuropathy with your oncologist. It sounds like neuropathy is getting better with time for you and I can understand your concern about it getting worse again.
Have you started Lynparza treatment now? How are you doing?

@colleenyoung Hi! I have discussed my neuropathy with me doctor and care team. I was told Lynparza should not worsen the neuropathy, but there have been a few things that occurred during & as a result of chemo infusions that nobody gave me a heads up on.
I started Lynparza June 30th, so 1 week left in my first cycle. I have days of extreme fatigue and don't know if this is related to the medication or not, but have had a couple of days when my mental state of mind is down... I would not call it depression but it's definitely not my usual.
