Any experience of how to stay in remission?

Hi  I just noticed you've not had a reply to your post as yet. By my answering It'll "bump" your post up to the top of the discussion list. I have a different cancer and have no experience of the treatments you mention so I can't help I'm afraid.

Perhaps if you rephrase the question to "Has anyone had Avastin or Olaparib?" someone might be along to answer your question.

Good luck with the next three rounds of chemo.

Hi, I'm interested in  your question, but don't yet have any real information that could help you.  I have high grade serous stage 4, have had 8 cycles chemo, with successful debulking surgery after cycle 6.  I had Avastin along with 4 of the cycles (they didn't give during a few as I was scheduled for surgery - postponed due to covid -  and it can hinder blood clotting), I then continued with Avastin as maintenance on a 3 weekly basis, to a total of 18 Avastin cycles which I have just finished.  Apparently 18 cycles is the duration that the clinical trials were based on, and these showed some success in delaying recurrence.  I haven't really been able to get any more information that than from my oncologist, so now am watching and waiting.  They did spot an enlarged lymph node on my end of treatment scan - the question is whether this is recurrence, or something that just never went away, since my last scan was just after surgery last July.  Sorry I can't help more than that.  Good luck with the continuation of your treatment x

Hi RKW.  Think much will depend on whether you're BRCA positive or negative.  Which are you?  If you haven't had genetic testing yet you really should, as the result informs your treatment options.  Sue
