I had steroids for three days with each of my last 4 chemo's, they gave me loads of energy..so I think I burnt off any weight gain, cos I still only weigh-in at 7 stone something!

It's true, as Shirley says, that chemo dosage is tailored to your height/weight ratio, but I don't think being a bigger person makes it more effective. I hope not anyway!

My son is on steroids almost permanently as he has Crohn's disease, and they have made him very "puffy", I hate it as he doesn't look the same as he did. But that is after taking them long-term.

I wouldn't worry about taking them for only a few days, but if you can take the last dose before 2pm then they won't keep you awake half the night!
