I was diagnosed with breast cancer and started my treatment with Ellence 2mg/ml 25ml Inj. My oncologist explained that it works by stopping cancer cells from growing and multiplying. It's given as an injection into a vein. I'm on my third round now, and I've experienced some side effects. Urine that turns orange or red for 1-2 days after receiving the medication was the strangest thing. I also got hot flashes, fatigue, and hair loss. The hair loss was tough, but my doctor said it's common and usually reversible within 2-3 months after stopping the medication. I was also surprised to know that it can cause serious side effects like bleeding, infection, or even blood clots. I've had to be extra careful and monitor my symptoms closely. I just wanted to share my experience and see if anyone else has gone through this or has some tips to share.
