@viking1 Yes I was on 4mg Dexamethasone twice daily, I still have the bottle, it also says on the label as the pharmacist told me not to take them more than 3 days. I didnt have nausea or vomiting from steroids, I did have the anxiety big time though. Everyone is different and so are Oncologists, that's why I asked was curious as to 7 days, hadn't heard of it before. I know when I had FEC I was a good 10 days really crap but then turned the corner for a week before the next infusion. I'd talk to your Oncologist try and work it out. Yes I wanted to be knocked out for 4.5 months!!! its a shocker! x
