My Oprah Dress
I’ve had this dress hanging in front of the clothes closet (in my way) for a month and a half and plan to wear it on Oprah whenever I lose enough weight to squeeze into it.
My only problem is, she’ll retire before I accomplish that, especially when the oncologist wants me to begin Femara. You guessed it… one of the main side effects (besides mood swings and blood clots) is weight gain.
Marie, now remember that those pesky side effects listed on your Femara scrip are “potential se’s”. Been on the “F” drug for nearly two years (strategically started it after completing the 3-Day in 2008). Yes, it has taken some time to get over the hump of adding a new drug to the mix, but taking that little yellow pill has gotten easier with time. I’d say at this point the se’s are quite minimal. No weight gain, no mood swings! Best of luck to ya gal !
