I am writing in regards to a family who is in HER last stages of life due to cancer. I spoke to her doctor about the use of AS to help her ragain some strength and help improve her quality of life. He agreed that it was a good idea and presribed this:
Deca @ 25mg every 2 weeks
When I mentioned to him that it would not take effect for 2 weeks, he said that this is not usually an issue in his experience because of the placebo effect on the patient knowing that they are taking steroids. Can someone help me with this? I am not sure what may be a better AS to take to get quicker results, and then maybe move her over to deca after 2 or 3 weeks. I do think that Deca is a good choice I am nust not sure about the wait, and the dose does seem a little low, but remeber this: She weighs only 120lbs, is 68 yrs. old, and is trying to gain a little strength and maybe some appetite.
Any help would be greatly appreciated guys and/or gals
thanks
