I officially hate steroids!! I'm taking dexamethasone and from Monday last week onward (once I stopped taking it) the effects kicked in. I swear I almost lost the plot at times. I became incredibly depressed and emotional. At times I'd also feel very frustrated and angry for no reason, as well as being irrationally sad. You may think this is normal for someone having chemo, but trust me when I say this was not normal!! I am going to speak to my nurse on friday (when I have round 2) about replacing the steroids with something else. I don't want to take them again!!
Aside from this, I'm feeling better now. Very tired still but okay. My emotions are pretty much in control again - still cry at silly things but it's manageable. Going to enjoy my 4 days of freedom till the shit hits the fan once more :)
No rest for the wicked!!
