My dad has just been diagnosed with this.
His gp was very quick to spot it. He has been on the steroids around 4 weeks - no issues with them. Not increased his appetite. They are helping.
He's to go back every 3 weeks at mo for bloods. I'm on it though. She wants to see him face to face, I make sure the receptionist is told that. If left to him, he'd just roll over...
Have hope. A diagnosis abd some treatment is better than the pain. I believe it is a long road, but they know the steroids work. X
