Ovarian Cancer: Should I go on Maintenance Therapy?

Hi Katycot, this is Karen M and I am in a similar situation where I am trying to decide if maintenance therapy is worth it for someone who has no genetic indicators that PARP therapy will be beneficial. I was diagnosed with stage 4 a little over a year ago and have had 9 chemo sessions and debulking surgery. Is there anyone on this discussion with no mutations who is taking PARP inhibitors?

Hi, I too had no genetic indicators but both my oncologist surgeon and my oncologist both wanted me too. I have have very few side effects and so far everything had gone well and no recurrence after a year. You just have to be very vigil on you health’s and signs that change in your body. I am getting Chest-Abdomen-Pelvis CT Scan every 6 months for the next 3 years. So far it’s been a year and no recurrence. I wish you all the best and I think it’s your own choice and I feel so lucky to have that choice.
Be well!!!
