Hello. My husband has been told that Enzalutamide is no longer working and he is being given Olaparib after he has some radiotherapy. I am really worried about 3verythibg really. Has anyone had this Olaparib? 2hat are the side effects? Many Thanks
Hi Stem
I do remember reading about this drug some time ago.
Think was launched about 3 or 4 years ago.
Apparently exploits a weakness in cancer cells without harming healthy tissue, good for advanced cancer.
Hopefully someone might post who has tried it but it does sound ok.
Try searching on the web , must be loads of info there
Best wishes
Steve
Hello Stem, I have just looked up Olaparid on the Prostate cancer Uk website
www.prostatecancer.org They give a really good explanation of how it works, when it’s used and what the side effects are.
I really hope it works for your husband !
