Answers:
In 2003 it was suggested that the common antibiotic doxycycline might be effective in treating elephantiasis[1]. The parasites responsible for elephantiasis have a population of symbiotic bacteria, Wolbachia, that live inside the worm. When the symbiotic bacteria are killed by the antibiotic, the worms themselves also die. Clinical trials in June 2005 by the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine reported that an 8 week course almost completely eliminated microfilariaemia.
Please see the webpages for more details on Filariasis and Elephantiasis.

Depending on the cause, yes. If she has true "Wuchereria bancrofti" then, unfortunately, sometimes treatment is not permanent. But there are several different medicines that should be tried before giving up. You should see an infectious disease doctor with experience in tropical medicine.

Most people who think they have elephant leg do not have Wuchereria bancrofti, but rather have something else that is blocking lymphatic flow or causing increased lymphatic production. Most, but not all, of these are easily treated and many can be eliminated permanently.
