Hi
I've had to go on a 3 week course of prednisolone to get a toxicity (from immunotherapy) under control.
I'm on a taper, and will be down to 20mgs come next chemo treatment day.
I asked my Oncologist if I should still take the pre treatment steroids as well as the prednisolone and I 'think' they said yes.
But I've googled it and come across some info that says these two steroids shouldn't be taken at the same time. I'm now wondering if maybe I misheard the Oncologist.?
Any thoughts welcome. Obviously I will double check, but am interested to know what other people think.
Thanks x
Hi Harebellle sorry you haven't had a reply to this. Did you manage to speak to your oncology team to get it clarified? x
