We were told that steroids are for a short time only. They suppress the immune system, hopefully giving time for the bone marrow to start working again. There is a risk of raised blood pressure and it can increase appetite - a good thing for your wife, maybe. For more information, have you seen the aa&mds website? Highly recommended.
