Hi, Thanks for writing in. It is important to know why the patient was sent back with treatment on wysolone which is a steroid if she is having advanced stage non hodgkins lymphoma. Steroids work as anti inflammatory. Advanced lymphoma non hodgkin type is treated with combination chemotherapy and radiation therapy. If she has advanced non hodgkin lymphoma then it is difficult to get cured by wysolone only. Please meet her doctors again and discuss the clinical condition of the patient. Wysolone must be taken as recommended. If taken for more than 4 months then it might cause side effects like weight gain, weak bones, reduced immunity. Please do not worry.
