HI Dale
Thank you so much for sharing! What exactly were your side effects when you were on Zejula? That is the drug I am looking at. I work at a school and have been on medical leave since my surgery. I am looking to return to work in a few weeks and am concerned about being on a drug that may weaken my immune system. You have been on so many meds, Dale! I wonder if you remember for Zejula if your blood counts were low at all? Or how the fatigue was?
Thank you again for sharing.
Diana

I had severe headaches and was only on it for a month. They were caused by high blood pressure. Because they couldn’t get my blood pressure under control we decided to stop the Zejula. I was an unusual case so don’t go by me. I know others that did very good on it. Unfortunately everyone reacts differently. I was on Lynparza for several months after Zejula and had very little problems, it just stopped working and tumors had metastasized.
