Chemo and/or Dexmethesone side effects

hi everyone, sorry I haven't been active on here for a while but I developed side effects after 1st chemo (A+C and Dexmethesone for anti nausea) with slight tremor of neck, head, hands,legs  GP and I thought Essential Tremor as in family. oncologist said no, it was Dexmethesone and to reduce by 1 tab on 2nd chemo, but still take Akynzeo I hr prior and he put Dex into chemo drip.  As speaking and walking, head shaking like a stroke/Parkinson's patient sent to neurologist but all tests negative, including brain cancer, encephalitis and many more. Has anyone any experience with any if this? A Home Carer told me of a client on Sunshine Coast Qld about 12 mths ago who was exhibiting same speech and walking symptoms.  I want to know is they r the same symptoms and if she was offered any treatment.  I would really appreciate any advice/comments.
