How did she last that long

Hello, did your mom have any debulking surgery and chemotherapy??

Hi, Sue's referring to the drug, olaparib - the discovery and development of which was underpinned by research at the ICR. You can read more here: www.icr.ac.uk/news-features/latest-features/our-research-impact-parp-inhibitors We hope this helps. Best wishes, ICR.

We're sorry to hear about your diagnosis, Joanna. Sending you our best wishes for your treatment, ICR ❤

Hey hi can u tell me the treatment plans

Hi Megha, Thank you for getting in touch and we're sorry to hear about your diagnosis. We can't provide information on individual diagnoses, so we'd recommend speaking to your GP or oncologist who'll be able to help. Sending you our very best wishes, ICR.

Yes megha, your chances of survival is 💯😊. What is the treatment u r taking

Hi Shashi, the drug that Sue's on is olaparib, also called by its brand name Lynparza. It is a treatment for some people with ovarian cancer who have mutations in their BRCA genes. The ICR's Professor Johann de Bono's group led on the development of this PARP inhibitor drug, that is now approved based on our work for the treatment of ovarian cancer. We hope this helps. Best wishes, ICR.

I am on Zejula, also a parp inhibitor. I have a BRIP-1 gene mutation. This gives me hope. I am one year out from chemo/surgery.

Hi Esmeralda, there are some factors that can increase your risk of developing ovarian cancer. Having one or more risk factors doesn't mean that you will definitely get ovarian cancer. You can find out what these risk factors are on the Cancer Research UK website here: www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/ovarian-cancer/risks-causes We hope this helps. Best wishes, ICR.

Hi, thank you for reaching out. At the ICR, we undertake cancer research and cannot provide advice or diagnoses for individual experiences. If you're at all worried about potential symptoms, we'd recommend speaking to your GP who will be able to help. Sending you our best wishes, ICR.

It’s a guide but not a true screening. They don’t have a true screening sadly. My CA levels and on a more sensitive test were good and normal. Nonetheless when a large cyst was removed cancer found, originating from Fallopian tube, with spec hitting two lymph nodes. ALL of it endo related. Perhaps in future screening can tie into better care for endo sufferers which was my entire menstrating life.

Hi Mere, Sue is doing well, thank you for asking. Sending you our best wishes, ICR.
