How long is it supposed to it take for chemo steroids to leave the body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not long: Any chemo drugs including steroids are eliminated from our body in 1 or 2 days(maximum 5 days for some drugs). But their effects on the body can last for much longer time, usually for several weeks.
