It's the latest in cancer meds for women with estrogen-positive, progesterone negative, Her2 negative or low metastatic breast cancer.
Another funny name of another funny pill. Supposedly it looks like Viagra:
Needless to say it doesn't have the effect I'm told Viagra has, but how would I know? I'm a Viagra virgin. Never took the stuff, never saw the stuff. Elascestrant might also be compared to "that gentle little blue pill" advertised for insomnia back in the day. Like most cancer meds, it's pretty strong stuff, but the pretty blue patina makes it seem friendly. To me, anyway. And that name--where did they get that one? Elacestrant? Sounds elastic, like a rubber band that'll snap you back to health. The Facebook page for this one sounds like the drug does do that --for some. Hoping to be among those chosen few, I'm happy to report almost no bad side effects. Any tummy trouble is resolved with chamomile or peppermint or fennel-anis-caraway tea--or a couple of bananas. And there are good side effects: I'm getting my eyelashes and eyebrows back. Fuzz is creeping across my cranium. Can't wait til I have enough to buy hairdye.
