Is anyone with TNBC on the Plasma Match trial? This would be Group E for treatment with Olaparib and AZD6738. I have lung mets which have shown progression on last couple of scans and my onc has suggested the trial. I have been treatment free for 18 months as I don’t really have symptoms from mets.I seem to have a non agressive TNBC - lucky me!! I am in Kent so would go to Maidstone Kent Oncology Centre.
Anyone had any experience with Olaparib? I need to decide whether I can cope with reduced immunity from the drugs with the dreaded virus still around, particularly as the monitoring for the trial involves lots of blood tests, ct’s etc so plenty of hospital visits.
Look forward to hearing your thoughts/ eperience of this.
im also mTNBC and have looked at this trial, Plasma Match. If it were me I’d go for it. I went for radiotherapy every day to a London hospital for radiotherapy at the height of the coronavirus situation and I was fine…kept very safe. It’s about risk v benefit.
My step mum is on the olaparib and AZD6738 trial. She started this before COVID and has remained well throughout. She has her bloods checked and the meds arrive by courier. So far she has had a good response- tumour not able to be felt and shows a decrease in size on scan and lung met has disappeared. Good luck with what you decide to do
Just wanted to give you some reassurance about Eribulin and the Covid vaccine. I have been on Eribulin since the end of Sept and had my vaccine last Friday. My oncologist was keen for me to have the vaccine and my chemo wasn’t delayed because of it. (I had it again yesterday) Ideally it’s best to have the vaccine before you start a new chemo cycle because your immunity is at its highest, but my oncologist didn’t seem too worried about that, she was more anxious that I got the vaccine when it was offered.
I think I remember reading once that you’re in Kent? So am I.
