I don't have mets, but the Decadron and the Benadryl given each chemo infusion was making me crazy with side effects. The Decadron was lowered to 10 mg last infusion, but I was still given 50 Bendryl and had to sit for over an hour to let the side effects subside before completing the chemo. My onc has d/c'd further Benadryl, but does not feel comfortable giving no Decadron at all.

As for the side effects; stumbling, toe dragging, eating binges, have to drag myself up the stairs in my house by the handrail, an all over weird, wired feeling.
