Hiya, hope I'm writing this in the correct place im new to this. On 1st of June this year my father was admitted to hospital with walking issues, he had no balance and couldn't walk unaided he was originally thought to of had a bleed on his brain. After a ct scan they said they can see tumours on his brain, 3 days later after many tests and a mri he was diagnosed with lung cancer . He had a biopsy the following week on his lung which were inconclusive and a second set of biopsy on his lung the week after that. He is at home (was discharged 5 days after being admitted) with medication, he was on steroids 4, twice a day for 2 weeks, 2, twice a day for 2 weeks and now he's on one steroid tablet twice a day, he managed to regain his walking when he was on the higher doses, now he's dropped down to the lower dose he has lost his balance and his walking ability again. He has been told he will have radiotherapy on his brain to try and ease that, he will be fitted for his 'mask' on Wednesday this week. My question is, has anyone any experience of this sort of situation and can he expect his balance and walking to regain after treatment? He's very down that he's 'gone backwards' walking wise down he's down to the all dose of steroids. Any answers or person stories of similar situations would be greatly received thank you x
