Steroids!!!!!!!!
Yay, here I am at the end of my second four week chemo cycle. I can now think clearly, I don't look like elephant woman, I can sleep and food is tasting better. I'm not complaining, it's a lot bett...

They are wonderful aren't they!
I am fortunate that they have tried to avoid them with me, but the times I have taken steroids my Girls tell me I am "Hyper" - talk quickly and everything has to be done yesterday.
My eldest even has the audacity to tell me that I am not sane when I take them.
The Chemo I am taking at present does not require steroids which is great.
Weight gain has been a problem for me on chemo. Oral Chemo has been the only one I have not gained weight and in fact lost 5 kg.
At present I have lost 2/3 of my hair and it has stopped falling out. It looks silly but I am waiting to see what the next dose will do.
Take care and at least we have an excuse for weight gain, hair loss and the like.
Most middle aged people gain weight and Men lose hair. They generally have no excuse for this - but we do.
Oh to Chemo & Steroids
Take care
Cheers
