Yes, you will. Your doctor will order blood tests for you before, during, and after your treatment with Lynparza. These blood tests will check the level of your red blood cells and white blood cells. Checking these tests lets your doctor make sure that your blood cell levels are within a healthy range.
For people with certain types of ovarian cancer, doctors order a blood test called CA-125. They can use this test to monitor for worsening of certain ovarian cancers.
You’ll likely have blood tests done every month during treatment. However, if you have decreased blood cell levels over a long period of time, you may need to have blood tests done every week.
Based on the results of your blood tests, your doctor will recommend how often you’ll need to have additional blood tests.
