My dad has Glioblastoma and has been fight for 19months now. He has been in the hospital since Dec31st . He has also got lymphoma that has spread from neck to stomach.
When he went to hospital he could barely talk, walk or eat. They gave him steroids and it was like he came back to life. Then they reduce his steroids and was back to the same. Last week he was in and out of sleep for 2-3 days not eating, couldn't swallow use bathroom etc. Dr. told us he believed he was in his lasted months of life.
The next day they gave him more steroids and was back to life again. When I say back to life.. it's not that he is running around it's just he can talk, eat and walk with his walker.
My question is can anybody tell me how long he can be on Steroids?
