subject: Can Steroids Treat Cancer? [print this page] Although they are used in the treatment, they come with some side effects. Some of the side effects include indigestion or heartburn, increase in appetite, increase in weight, alteration in the levels of blood sugar, swollen limbs because of water retention and changes in the mood and behavior. These side effects can be mild or severe and their progression will depend on the patient's general health, the number of times they have taken treatment, the amount and other drugs. Some of these side effects may need treatment or reduction of the dose to prevent them. Patients should stop the treatment when the doctor tells to them to, because the body has to readjust and start producing the steroids on its own. The doctors will reduce the dosage instead of suddenly stopping the treatment.
