Steroid timings

Continuing the discussion from October 2024 chemo starters:

Hi everyone,
Just had my 3rd chemo EC/D today and a nurse gave me some new info about taking steroids.
I know lots of you like me struggle with sleep and a 4am wide awake brain is no fun! The nurse told me to take steroids after breakfast then the other dose no later than 3pm as it can effect sleep! News to me as I’ve been taking them at about 7pm!
Just thought I’d share as adjusting timings may help us sleep better!
