What I resent is that decadron is not openly presented to us as a choice when we do chemo. I think given the total picture of what decadron generally does to women (weight gain/depression, and all the rest) that it should be DISCUSSED as a choice. But it never is. We have to someone run across the question somewhere to even know enough to ask the question of the oncs. So why aren't THEY open with us???? Like Al I too have read an article elsewhere that it reduces the effectiveness of chemo, which might translate to giving us higher doses of chemo as well as the other complications Al mentioned.
