Hi, my aunt has recently had to stop taking Niraparib after her platelets dropped very low. Has anyone else experienced this? If so how long did the platelets take to recover (it’s been 2 weeks since stopping now and they are only slightly improved) and were there any alternative treatments that were subsequently better tolerated? She has a month until her next review and I’m just wondering if there are similar experiences as she’s been told hers is very rare?

  • Hi  

    I'm sorry to read that your aunt has had to stop taking her medication after her platelets dropped very low and it's natural to wonder if there might be any alternative treatments.

    I'm not a member of this forum but noticed that your post hadn't had any replies. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.

    Wishing you and your aunt all the best
