Having had the debaulking and 6 chemo finishing in Dec 22 I have a recurrence in my lower pelvis rectal vagina area. Sadly not picked up by oncologist and I had to chase to get the discomfort I experienced investigated. CT didn’t pick it up but after an internal exam it was obvious. Now in  constant aching pain. I am on Naraparib and sleeping is difficult. I find if I do a long stint of walking I start to feel sick. Yes breathless walking up stairs and low level tiredness. But this could also be due to recurrence. Any suggestions regarding pain relief??

  • Hi Georgina

    your GP or Oncologist should be able to advise on the pain relief.

    I have a Hernia after the surgery which gives me back and stomach pain while standing or walking. The only drug I take is Paracetamol or codeine phosphate or co-codamol but I have to avoid any constipation side effects.

    hop this helps

  • I was on naraparib from Jan 22 till June 22, well I was off more than I was on it, it messed with my bloods big time, I had all the symptoms you're getting, I'm presuming you are getting regular blood tests, I had to have transfusions and was hospitalised a few times due the naraparib, I think you should talk to your consultant or specialist nurse.

    Hope you get it sorted
