    Stage 4, recurrence, PARP Inhibitor Trial, BRCA 1
    Hi-
    Wow, so great to hear so many years of surviving this beast! For me, I made it 9 months before this recurrence. I'll be participating in a University of Chicago clinical study using a PARP Inhibitor along with Temozolomide (chemo). Scheduled to begin next week, the researchers are hoping it will benefit ovarian cancer along with other cancers and respond to BRCA 1 carriers. We'll see...I'll try to post results as I go thru this - never know, it may help someone else.

    Take care all...congrats to all survivors.

    BRCA 1 too!
    Hi -
    I just posted under Stage 4 survivor here. It's at the end of the feed, maybe my info. will be useful for you.
    I'm also Stage 4 with a recurrence now to my lymph node and abdomen area.
    Doing my best to survive - the fatigue and pain is tough. One day at a time tho.
    hang in there.

    Congratulations!
    Hi Jan,
    I'm so glad you've joined the board, and congratulations to you. You give us hope that one day, we all can write the same wonderful post.

    I'm 4B with mets. to the lymph nodes, diagnosed 2+ years ago.
    I'm on a short chemo break, giving my mind and body a rest. I will probably be starting my 3rd chemo drug next month.

    I wish you the best of health and happiness!
