Steroids

Hi 

My partner Dave has stage 4 melanoma.

Hes on a course of steroids and he's feeling very dizzy and shaky... is this the norm 

  • Hi Gillian, 

    I'm sorry to hear that your partner Dave has stage 4 melanoma and that the course of steroids he is on are making him feel dizzy and shaky. Have you spoken to his medical team about this? If not, do make them aware of this as they will be able to monitor him and let you know if this is a common reaction. You can chat to our cancer nurses about this as well. Their number is 0808 800 4040, which is free to call from a UK landline, and are available Monday - Friday between 9.am - 5p.m. 

    Do come back and let us know how Dave is getting on if you can.

    Kind Regards,
