End of 3 weekly carboplatin and paclitaxel along with durvalumab immunotherapy .
Now on 4 weekly durvalumab and olaparib targeted chemo pills twice a,day starting in a few weeks.
Had horrendous reactions to chemo before and now nervous of starting targeted pills - anyone been on this and what kind of reaction did you have.
Hi Half full cup
Well done for getting to the end of chemo. I remember it well!
I haven't taken the durvalumab or olaparib but hopefully some one on here will have and can offer you some reassurance. Hopefully your previous reactions to chemo will not happen in the new treatments.
Good Luck

I felt like that during chemo- didn't think I would get through it but I did. Same with the radiotherapy- it can feel very overwhelming.
It is tough to have a hysterectomy and I know I felt pretty rough after treatment and looked it- but it did get better. I hope the new treatment helps and that any side effects are manageable.
These are the Macmillan pages on your new meds.
