Hi Mich56
I am sorry that you have not yet had a reply to your post but sometimes it can just take a few days for someone who has had similar treatment to see it and respond.
My own cancer was endometrial and I also had chemotherapy. I am pleased to hear that your chemo has shrunk your tumour. I know it can be a tough treatment at times.
I hope that your rucaparib treatment goes ok. I will pop a link to some info that may be of help while you are waiting for a reply.
