Hello,
Our mum has been diagnosed with a brain tumour.. She had a fall and this is how it was discovered. She has been told she has 3-6 months left with us. We are already around 6 weeks into this period.
I would like to know if anyone could advise me regarding the steroid process. When she left the hospital she was on a high dose. This gave us back our mum though we were told it would be for a short period of time as they would need to reduce the dose. Today she has gone down to 8mg we have seen a decline each time it has been reduced. She feels weaker and the symptoms she was experiencing at the begging are slowly starting to return.
i understand that the longer she is on a higher dose it created more space for the tumour to grow.
My question been will the dose be reduced and reduced until she can no longer function or will they up them if she needs them?
thank you in advance x
