For Peritoneal Cancer "I have been on Elahere for over one year. Initially, I was receiving an infusion every three weeks, but after the sixth infusion and increasing side effects, I went to every six weeks and reduced the dosage. So far, my CA-125 is holding steady, lower than 15! I wouldn’t be able to handle the side effects if I was getting it every three weeks. I have high blood pressure, eye issues, now resolved, abdominal pain, severe constipation, managed with lots of stool softeners and laxatives, neuropathy, and fatigue. I keep wanting to stop but am afraid that it will come back if I do. Elahere is the first thing that has kept me in remission for more than three months. I am grateful."

For Ovarian Cancer "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 doing Prednisolone Acetate 1% eye drops, which I do one drop in each eye four times a day to help with any eye problems, so far, so good. Praying my next CA125 shows better results next month."
