Thanks for that info. I, too, had read about the 15 deaths and my surgeon also said that in comparison with the # of women who'd had tx, the deaths are a minute number. I am confident that with my onco. prescribing Decadron before, during and after chemo I'll be OK. I have received several responses in reply to the various messages I've posted but am always glad to hear from anyone who's been thru this - I guess misery loves company???? Anyway, I have faith in myself and my dr's recommendations - just dread losing my hair again. But if you do know of someone who wants to correspond about these 3 drugs (I'm also getting Zometa) I'd be glad to know
