A member asked:

Dr says 6 wks on decadron (dexamethasone) for 2 brain bleeds. should ct be done? when? dr hoping no surgery. other options? brain off center 6. confused. next?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Comments: You may well have "Amyloid angiomatosis" causing your hemorrhages. Need serial imaging, and if stable, would do over next 4-6 weeks. Treatment here may be a bit challenging, and may well need opinions from neurosurgery, and neurology.
