draiocht_bean_si Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 a mass can cause swelling in the brain. Swelling fluctuates. Therefore, symptoms can fluctIuate. I forgot to ask Dr. this last part is just my guess.doctor knows about this site I told him before but did not feel like talking about it yesterday. I will be on Decadron. I asked why Decadron causes personality changes. He said basically it interferes with dream sleep. When you do not get dream sleep, it affects your brain and this causes psychological effects must get some sleep now. Cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean44 Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Cat, My Dad had lung cancer with mets to the brain and also had to take Decadron. It really didn't affect him too bad. I am hoping the same for you. You are in my prayers. Jean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
