Steroids

My husband has been put on steroids prior to chemo and he's not slept for the last two days (he's been on them for the last three days); he's beside himself because he says he's exhausted and he's saying he wants to stop the steroids - surely ha shouldn't just stop them? It's now Saturday and I don't know where to get help?

  • Welcome to the forum Heather.

    I just saw your post and wanted to let you know that the best thing to do would be to contact your husband's medical team. I think your husband should have been given contact details so have a look for them and give them a call. You could also try contacting your GP out of hours service and maybe even giving the NHS 111 service a call. 

    I know your husband is exhausted but don't let him stop taking the steroids until you have spoken to a medical professional.

    I hope this helps and that your husband is able to get some rest soon.

    Kind Regards,
