Steroid shots for allergies

by Liv105, Sep 24, 2008 01:25PM
After having had breast cancer, is it safe to take steroids for allergies?
Doctor's Answer

If you are asking about nasal or oral inhaled steroids, there should be no problem.  But safety of oral steroids may depend upon the cell type and estrogen responsiveness of the cancer.  You will need to discuss this with one or more of your breast cancer doctors.
