Five year survivor

Laurie

Hi. I'm Laurie from Ontario. I was first diagnosed at age 48 with stage 2b high grade serous ovarian cancer. I had surgery and 6 rounds of carbo/taxol. That was Sept 2012. I was ok for four and a half years and I had a recurrence March 2017. Another surgery and 6 more chemo . I finished Aug 30th. I have the brip 1 gene and started lynparza about 4 weeks ago. I can help answer questions as I've been through this twice. Looking to connect with others in Canada.

Hi @Laurie Welcome to OVdialogue! Thanks for being so willing to provide support to other women and seek it out for yourself too.  You might want to check out the discussion on Lynparza and connect with others who are taking the drug.  How is it going?  Have you noticed any side effects and how are you managing them?
