Hi my name is Caroline, I'm new to the group, despite being diagnosed with peritoneal cancer last year in June. I've under gone chemotherapy and several drains and procedures on both of my lungs. I'm currently in remission but I have problems with my left lung as it is trapped. It was trapped due to the ascites fluid which built up. I experience breathlessness just carrying out simple tasks plus I have asthma too. Recently I've begun to lack motivation to do anything as I'm tired all of the time. I sleep alot during the day and then have difficulty sleeping during the night.
I've started a new regime of medication instead of chemo I'm now taking the maintenance medication Olaparib which I take on a daily basis. I've experienced lots of side effects of these tablets but my blood results have been positive. I was just wondering if anyone else has had any side effects whilst taking this medication.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Caroline X
