Elahere (mirvetuximab soravtansine) "4 infusions CA125 dropped from 13,000 to 7597. Neuropathy controlled by gabapentin. Have neuropathy in feet and hands. Had gastric problems controlled by Pepcid and Zofran. Working to minimize side effects while Elahere controls my cancer. So far, things are looking good. CT scan due in 2 months will follow up on this site."

Elahere (mirvetuximab soravtansine) "First infusion showed a fantastic drop in CA125. Some diarrhea after day 3 and touch and go for the next 2 weeks. I fell and broke my hip the night before the 2nd infusion. I spent the next 2 weeks in recovery. The second infusion occurred at week 5 with more diarrhea and more frequent occurrences. The third infusion is now causing almost constant diarrhea, tiredness, and loss of appetite with weight loss. I am searching for a cure for the diarrhea."

Elahere (mirvetuximab soravtansine) "Working - dropped tumor markers from 540 to 140 after 2 infusions. Severe and worsening abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea and constipation, pelvic bone pain. Have increased pain meds from T3 to Norco 5, then Norco 10. At night feels like no relief at all. Going to try morphine next."

Elahere (mirvetuximab soravtansine) "Had 4th infusion of Elahere six days ago. Therefore, we don't yet know the efficacy of the treatment. Of the side effects listed in the 'Elahere Side Effects' document, to date, I have experienced more than half of them, including fever, nausea and vomiting, severe constipation along with very sore lower abdominal area, blurred vision and loss of acuity, some eye pain, severe headache, muscle and joint pain, neuropathy, some pain when urinating, some weakening of legs, cough and hoarseness, decreases appetite, among others. Most of the painful side effects are fairly well controlled with medications."

Elahere (mirvetuximab soravtansine) "After one infusion, CA-125 dropped from 540 to 340. Side effects after were mild - low level nausea, some diarrhea, mild loss of appetite. After the second infusion, severe abdominal pain & bloating, diarrhea for a week. Tried yoga, heating pad, exercise, Zofran, ibuprofen. Norco finally eased the pain."

Elahere (mirvetuximab soravtansine) "I started Elahere in February 2024 and experienced side effects: constipation, fatigue, loss of appetite, and several days after the treatment, I had diarrhea. Three weeks later, before my second treatment, I had my blood work done and my CA125 went up from 47 to 94...very disappointing. I had my second infusion in March 2024. I had less fatigue, less loss of appetite, still had constipation for a couple of days, and the diarrhea started after that. Plus, I now have this itchy burning sensation in my right shoulder blade in my back that I did not have before. I am also using Prednisolone Acetate 1% eyedrops; I do one drop in each eye four times a day to help with any eye problems. So far, so good. I'm praying my next CA125 shows better results next month."
