Ok my scan just came back all clear!! I just found out today. I have had 8 ELAHERE infusions and was getting ready to tell him to take me off of it because my CA125 went up but he said that it wasn't the tumors that I had. They are gone. Lymph nodes are good now too. I will add that I started drinking Sour Sop tea 2 to 3 x daily and taking turkey tail mushrooms and Fenbendazole as well. I am in shock.
I started Elahere and will have my fourth infusion next Friday then I think they plan a scan to see if the tumors are shrinking. So far my only side effects have been diarrhea and muscle and joint pain. Oxycodone takes care of the pain. It's the fifth type of chemo that I have been on and the only one that has worked. God sent me a miracle that I never asked for.
I know that there are other side effects but haven't read up on them. All I know is that my CA 125 went from almost 900 to 55.1 in three infusions. I have hope again for the first time in months.
I hope it works as well for you.
God Bless you and Dog Bliss you.
Iโm on Doxil right now and my oncologist told me eligible for Elahere if Doxil fails.
Donโt know what to feel. Too much of a roller coaster ride for me.

I will have my 7th infusion next week. My only side effects are terrible neuropathy (feet/toes) which has increased since second line chemo, and extreme fatigue some days. I am currently NED and Ca125 is 13. ๐๐
I watch my 7month ond grandson 3 days a week, so that and groceries, chores contribute also!
I won't take Gabapentin or other neuropathy medd, but I do take a CBD gummy if I think I'll have trouble sleeping.
I have just had my 8th Elahere injection. No side effects except horrible nueropathy in fingers and toes. On Gabapentin and Cymbalta generic. Helps some by Lydocane is the way.
Other than that everything ok. Some eye blurriness.
Anyone else?
