My name is Janet and I have stage III ovarian cancer. Just had my 1st 3 month follow up after completing 6 chemo treatments. My CA125 has risen from 12 to 64 in 3 months. CT shows new small lymph node. My Gyn/OC team is discussing which maintenance therapy I should try.
Avastin, Lynparza or Zejula. Can anyone give me any advice?

Hi Janet, and welcome. You'll notice that I moved your question about choosing which maintenance therapy to take Zejula (niraparib) or Avastin (bevacizumab) or Lynparza (olaparib) to this existing discussion that @dianainstaug started.

I did this so you can click the link to read the previous posts and connect easily with fellow ovarian cancer thrivers like @pauldale4 @starko @susu2 @odette @tamcbart @heather2020 @azovercomer and more, who can share their experiences.

Janet, are in involved in the decision-making with the team, i.e., to give feedback on which side effects you feel more comfortable dealing with?
