I was diagnosed with Ovarian cancer over 2 years ago. I have had 2 rounds of chemo and surgery.
I have just started Rucaparib abd after 5 days feel awful. Nauseous, shivers, listless. Worse than any chemo effects. Anyone else felt this way ???
Hi i am on this what dose are you on you may need dose reduced let your team know and they will advise you i have had mine reduced due to liver function but seems better had my first ct scan this week since been on it hoping its working and keeping it under control let me know how you get on x
Thanks. I am on 600mg a day. Having blood tests next week and phone talk with oncologist. Hoping this sick feeling goes away. Metoclopromide stopped some nausea.
I was diagnosed over 2 years ago and have had 2 rounds of chemo and surgery but this feels worse than any of that !!
