Naturally-occurring steroids are hormones that are made in small amounts by our body’s adrenal glands. These steroids influence many different systems in the body, including regulating the immune system and blood pressure, and reducing inflammation.

Synthetic steroids are steroids that are made as medicines to mimic the action of the body’s naturally-occurring steroids. Dexamethasone and prednisolone are two different steroid medicines that are commonly used to treat myeloma. They belong to a class of steroids called glucocorticoids. One of these is often used in combination with other anti-myeloma medicines as part of your treatment program.

These steroid medicines are different from anabolic steroids, which are used to build muscle.

Learn more about steroids, how they work, their more common side effects, and other issues to be aware of in our updated ‘Steroids’ Treatment infosheet:https://myeloma.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Steroid-therapy-side-effects-and-management.pdf

It is possible for your myeloma to become active again without producing a paraprotein, even if you had a paraprotein when you were first diagnosed. This is why it’s so important to report any new symptoms to your treating team.

Learn more about paraprotein, what it is, and how it is measured to monitor your myeloma and its response to treatment in our updated ‘Understanding paraprotein in myeloma’ Tests infosheet:https://myeloma.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Tests-infosheet_Understanding-Paraprotein.pdfhttps://myeloma.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/paraprotein_fact_sheet_feb21-002.pdf

Making memories together- by Hope Weber, VIC

'We have three children, two sons and a daughter who were all in their late teenage years at this stage. We have always been very open and honest with our children, but it was extremely hard telling them that their young, fit, healthy, Dad, who was the strong one in our family has an incurable and aggressive type of blood cancer.'
