I have been taken  off olaparib due to pneumonia.  What next?  I have been on this for10 months and it’s kept my tnbc metastasis in lungs & brain stable.   I m brca1.  I have now been told my oncologist has a new plan for me.  Anyone else had any experience of this or similar happening?

  • Hi RosG welcome to the forum. I dont know a lot about the drug that you are asking about but you also say that you have Pneumonia and anything that makes that worse will be stopped for a short period of time I imagine. 

    It does sound however that your Oncologist has another plan in their mind for you which is good and it maybe trying other types of drugs is the proposed way forward, I dont know, but they wont want to start anything until you are free of Pneumonia.
