First recurrence of High Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer followed by chemotherapy with Taxol and Carboplatin with Avastin. Two rounds, three weeks apart. Then just Avastin every 3 weeks.

Avastin made my mouth sore, messed up my sinuses and gave me high blood pressure for which I still take metoprolol and amlopidine.

Tumor marker spiked to the 50's, Avastin was stopped, started Taxol only but tumor marker continued to rise and after 3 or four rounds Taxol was stopped.

Tumor marker reached the 200 level, but scans only show some fluid in my abdomen.

Dr. tried to get Lynparza but insurence denied it.

Zejula was approved and I took three pills a day for two months before needing a blood transfusion. Lots of bad fatigue, loss of appetite, lost another ten pounds and constipation that was hard to deal with.

I got three weeks off Zejula. Tumor marker went down to 38.

I started back on Zejula with two pills a day. The first two weeks were fine, but now I feel like I'm coming down with something, appetite is poor, did a home Covid test, which was negative. Did you know those tests are only supposed to be good for about six months? So don't stockpile them. Feel icky? Take a test. My cousin went to the doctor for what she thought was allergies and they tested her for Covid and she was positive and they kicked her out. They were so mad she went there so I guess they expect us to test ourselves.
