Hello,

My wife has been taking Olarapib and bevacizumab, no for 15 months,  she is due finish her Bevacizumab in 3 cycles and then Olarapib at the end of year.

Her red bloods cells and hemoglobin levels continue to fall, She had a appointment today with her oncologist and they have informed us, if the levels continue to drop they will consider a few options

  • Blood Transfusion 
  • Reduce strength of Olarapib 
  • Pause treatment for a period of time

I'm just wondering if anyone else has had a slimlair experience that could share?

Wondering if her levels will start to return to normal once she has finished the Bevacizumab infusions or is it Olarapib causing the issues. 

Any advice would be helpful TIA
