Is she on decodran?missy6953 said:Please report these symptoms
Please report these symptoms to your Mom's doctor. It may be reactions to one of her medications or the chemo...
My mom
Is she on decodran?
My mom presented with slurring speech and balance issues, we thought she had a stroke....it was SCLC w/mets to brain. The decrodran is a steriod that helps with the brain swelling and should help remedy these symptoms.
Also, you may want to ask about a spinal tap to check spinal fluid for cancer...
My best to you both.
