MY sister is having Ovarian cancer ( Stage 3c). she has finished chemotherapy 4 times and had cytoreduction surgery (HIPEC). Again she has finished chemotherapy 2 times.
BRCA! & BRCA2 is negative. Our doctor told that it ismnot required and if you are interested in taking the tablet, i prescribe Olaparib (300 mgm) for morning and night.
Can I proceed to give Olaparib tal to my sister?
Please help us.
Morning
So sorry to read about your sister and seeing you joining us here :-/
There is an extensive Olaparib Information page here you could look at - Most here are patients or carers and not medically trained so cannot say if you should give these to your sister.
You could put this question to one of the Macmillan Nurses at this page to find if they could help you with this.
Hope this is of some help, G n' J
