Nancy asks, "What if I could take less steroids?”

Steroids help reduce brain swelling and prevent seizures — but the side effects can be hard. Weight gain. Moon face. Tremors. Not recognizing yourself in the mirror.

We decided to try lowering her dose. Just a little.
For several days, things felt hopeful.
Then came the tremor.

In this video, we share:• Why steroids are used in brain cancer• The balance between comfort and safety• What happened when we reduced her dose• The emotional toll of side effects• The constant balancing act of caregiving

If you are caring for someone with glioblastoma, brain cancer, or navigating hospice decisions — you are not alone.
This series documents our real journey with GBM. The good days, the hard days, and everything in between.
Thank you for walking this road with us.
❤️ Steve & Nancy
