my RO at moffit said he would consider a prednisone taper post HDR.
additionally, he would rx celebrex post sbrt.
side effects from steroid do taper down with the dose.
always consider drug interactions, contraindications, comorbidities. for instance., steroids can raise blood sugar temporarily.

If you don’t do a taper of prednisone, you will find great fatigue in the Afternoon. Almost nothing will be able to keep you from falling asleep. That’s the problem with prednisone and not tapering it over a long enough period.

That taper can take two or three months to actually allow your body to adjust and start producing more cortisol.
