My mom is having chemo for the first time on Wednesday. (taxol/carboplatin) She has stage lV lung cancer with mets. My concern is the night before she goes in she has to take FIVE decadrons at midnight and another 5 at 6 am. She already acts VERY different when she's on this steroid, I just can't imagine what 10 will do. Does anyone have any input with this situation? I've already talked to the doctors office and if she wants the treatment on Wednesday she has to take the steriods.
Thank you,
Bobbi
The 10 pills made my sister work like to plow mules right after the treatment for about 24 hours and eat like a horse. Afterwards she was tired but alright.
