Snufi,
Did you take Decadron (corticosteroid) prior to your TCH treatment? If so, what was your schedule for that. The corticosteroid is supppose to help cut down on a lot of reactions, esp the nerve related ones.
The Decadron schedule most are on is to take it the day before, day of tx, and the day after.
