Thanks,

Im also wondering what exactly dose the Dexamethasone do?

I took it days 2 through 4 (after) and I still have some left, would it help me feel better if I kept taking it ?

trying to keep up on the food/water....its hard though, everything tastes so bad and my tongue is burned/swollen from radiation. Im averaging around 1500cals a day and have only lost 3 pounds from wednesday. Ben & Jerry's ice cream is helping too.
