Chipmunk cheeks
Possibly the doctor could reduce the level of Decadron she's getting? I remember the big chipmunk face I had after surgery to remove a brain tumor, followed by whole brain radiation...the good news is that it does go away pretty quickly after treatment0 -

Hi Deb~ Thanks for your thoughts.
Mom swears its from the Dec, but when she called the Doc to tell her I really think that its from that she said I will have to call over to the infusion room to see how much there giving you so well see what the next step is. Mom thinks its 10mg in her IV that there giving her.
The good news is she has two more TX of taxotere than its Onc appt. than the waiting of the scans...0
