Welcome to the forum. I would talk with your Dr. regarding this. I would try diet modification to see if you can add weight. Discuss this with your Dr./oncologist and perhaps they can get you set up with a nutritionist.
There are cases that people are prescribed Oxandrin to aid in gaining weight/prevent weight loss, but again this is something that you should address with your treatment team.
I'm sure your friend means well, but I wouldn't follow his advice.
Best of luck and please visit out Nutrition forum. It may help you with some ideas for diet modification.

Welcome sir. Sorry about your fight with cancer. What does your doc think about going on cycle to gain weight? I don't know how cancer and steroids work together. I definitely would get some good advice.

Welcome to the forum, you are a very lucky man to come through that. Never mind twice, pls don't think AAS,
Steroids will do you no good at all, you need food to grow i promise you, you can use as much steroids as you like but you will not gain muscle without food.

Orals will mostly retain water so you would lose 90% to all once you stop.

Eating a good diet and training will not put on fat, go over to the diet section and look for the sticky. They are the threads at the top of that sub forum the do not move, look for the one that says TDEE'S.
Work them out then you will know what kcals you have to eat a day to gain weight.
If you need any help pls just ask in the right sub forum so you can get the best help/answer for your Q.
