Future Forward Therapies in Ovarcoming Ovarian Cancer

[@NurseQuipy]

2013 an MRI showed a cyst on my right ovary that was likely an endometrioma. Follow up scan 2 yrs later no change. MRI 2018 endometrioma decreased in size so after that then covid came and follow ups and screening took a back seat. Even in nursing school I don't remember learning about endometriosis. GP did not seem concerned about it either. Fast forward to 2023 I got diagnosed with clear cell ovarian ca. Kicking myself for not being more vigilant .

How are you? I was also stage 1a clear cell. 16 cm Endometrioma, 1.5 cm cancer.

@nursequipy I want to add I was also diagnosed last year.

I was diagnosed 3b clear cell June 2023 had complete hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo oophorectomy and omentectomy July 2023 then chemo August to November 2023. All my drs say that there are 2 groups of women with clear cell, those diagnosed early sometimes do poor and then those diagnosed sometimes do better. So far all my scans have been clear and my surgeon thinks I will be part of the good group. Fingers crossed for both of us

Do you recommend Parp maintained for patients who are BRCA neg and HRD proficient. And if so what are the benefits? Is the benefit worth the risk?

My wife is suffering from BRCA2 +Ve and HRD +Ve High Grade Serous Stage 3c Ovarian Cancer since last one year, currently she is on maintenance doses of Olaparib. Unfortunately my daughter is also BRCA2 +Ve, my question is that can my daughter start Olaparib in minimum doses as a prophylactic?
