Hello All,
There's a lot of serious talk here about serious symptoms, serious side effects, and serious outcomes. I'd like to share a more frivilous side effect if I may.
Hello All,
There's a lot of serious talk here about serious symptoms, serious side effects, and serious outcomes. I'd like to share a more frivilous side effect if I may.
For about a year, I was on Zelboraf, and perhaps 6 months after starting the drug, my feet bagan to look really dry and, frankly, gross. For some reason, I didn't associate this with Zelboraf, simply thought that at forty years of age, I had turned into a man with very ugly feet. Having stopped Zelboraf two months ago, I'm pleased to report that my feet are once again gorgeous. Seriously, you've never seen such sexy feet. The moral of this story is that if you're on Zelboraf and your feet are disgusting, don't blame age or your moisterizer or even God. Blame the drug.
And a happy holiday to all!
Josh

I have to share my z side effects.
1. My hair thinned but not much. so I now have the prettiest eyebrows I've ever had.
2. The hair on my thighs and arm pits is gone. If you knew how much i hate shaving, you'd know what a big plus that is.
3. The older lady hormone mustache that was just starting has also faded away, saving me all kinds of money on waxing.
4. Everyone comments now on how tan I look. Between the darkening of the rash and the fact that 2 minutes of sun is all it takes to tan…..
5. not sure if it's from zelboraf, but my hair is super curly now, so I don't need a perm…
6. and my tumors are stable or shrinking at last check.
That's some good stuff!
