Hi Auditie,

Talk to the team immediately and have a psych nurse come in to evaluate. I had a reaction to the steroids given to me to counteract nausea and side effects from chemo. It was akin to "roid rage". My "don't do it/say it button" got turned off and I thought, said and did things that were totally not me. The worst part was I didn't really realize what was happening. Those around me certainly did though!

When my chemo nurse saw me (about the 3rd week in), she knew something was wrong. They called in the psych nurse and it was determined I was in psychosis. I was taken off the steroids immediately and given a med to bring me down. It took about a week but I got through it.

Unfortunately being off the steroids allowed the side effects to kick in stronger but I got through that as well.

Good luck! Positive thoughts and prayers
