The pre-treatment steroids are making me put on weight, which I hate. Can't be doing with having cancer AND being fat!!!
My next couple of treatments will be a small dose of (10 min) chemo + Immunotherapy.
So, im wondering if I can get away with not having the 3 days of steroids that are recommended.
What are your thoughts?
Harebellle if you do not want to take the steroids, then you need to speak to your medical team to make sure it is ok not to take them. They are recommended for a reason. I would think you have enough to worry about than putting on a little weight. Being well is more important at the moment, worry about your weight later xx
Well, its that time of the month again. Should I take them or not? I'm already on prednisilone and my cheeks have blown up like a hamster. So im not taking the pre-treatment steroids as well.
Im only having rhe Pemotrexed this time. ( They've stopped the immunotherapy. 
) Thank yu NHS. Nice one!
So, I'm not loading my system wirh a drug, for a trearment that isn't that strong and only takes 10 minutes
My way of thinking is, it's rhe equivalent of using a sledgehammer to crack a walnut.
