    Hey Cayman, I don't know that answer but can you share what you were told by your gyn onc? I believe there are some women here who also may have had it and I hope they will be along to share as well.

    I don’t think you have to take steroids after Doxil unless your doctor specifically recommends it. My cousin in Canada went through a similar treatment and didn’t need steroids afterward, but every case is different. Steroids are used for different reasons, so if it's just for muscle recovery or building strength post-treatment, that's a conversation with your doctor. In Canada, some people have turned to things like [Content removed by CSN Support Team.] for muscle growth or recovery, but it's really important to be careful and follow medical advice. Just make sure you’re making decisions that are right for your health first.
