Just wanted to post that a new drug in the battle against ovarian cancer has been approved by the FDA under the name Elahere . My terrific oncologist discussed it with me l during my last appointment. As always , there is a catch , it is based on your having a certain protein present for it to work . Since. I have an inoperable tumor pressing on my urethra, if a candidate the drug would be injected directly into the said tumor .I went off chemo several months ago , I prefer to go with quality of life since I am heading towards 79 . I have been receiving immunotherapy every three weeks and last week my oncologist said that all my labs etc. were stable and I wasn't going anywhere .
I try and just kick the can down the road everyday, and keep plodding on , my philosophy is , Worry is like a rocking.chair it keeps you going , but doesn't get you anywhere!!
Since this drug is so new and data is still being collected on it , it is yet another weapon that may benefit anyone of you sooner or later . Chin up ladies , there are some brilliant scientists out there working on our behalf .
Hope your day went well !
