Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Cyclone is a steroid group of Chat Doctor.  It is not clear for which tumor this treatment is being given. Tumor in the brain needs a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. Cyclone is known to cause weight gain and swelling. However, once it is stopped, these changes would revert to normal. In addition, blood sugar and BP may increase while on treatment with steroids, so, please keep checking BP and sugars on a regular basis. Best wishes,
