Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Hello everyone, I don't very often write in your group. I am a caregiver but came to this group first. I came in with my husband just diagnosed and couldn't find out much information. My husbands daughter also signed up so she would kind of know from you all what her father was going through. Thanks to, I believe Joyce, we are both a little nervous about my husbands prednisone. She seemed to know her stuff. He was on 20 twice a day. He went to the lung Dr. a week ago. The Dr. was going to do an x-ray but since there was no noticable change he decided to do a ct scan. He changed his prednisone from the 40 a day to 20 a day. Kara and I both feel that this is kind of drastic after listening to everyone on this web site and some nurses that I know. Everyone says that you need to be weened off the stuff. Is it a bad sign when you hear they don't notice any changes and are doing a scan for more definition and then his dose is cut so low? Any info from you all would be appreciated.
