It is now just over a week since I have been taking steroids (daily 2mg Dexamethasone) and they seem to be working. I have had more energy and less nausea, though Thursday morning just gone I did wake and threw up, but felt fine after. None of the persistent nauseous feeling that I have had previously. It was more like having eaten something disagreeable and then feeling fine once one was rid of it. I was only prescribed 2 weeks of steroids and it will be interesting to see how I get on when they finish. It will be another 2 weeks after they finish before I see the oncologist again.
