Somebody here will know!

Hi - 13 years out (19+) nodes all NAD. But I have developed what I think is radiation recall. Originally I was told I had a deep seated infection that flares up when I took steroids and allowed the infection to surface and was advised to take Fluclox . This has happened every time I have been on steroids now for the past 10 years. The problem is, if it is actually radiation recall, steroids are what I thought was the treatment for it!. Latest time was after a steroid injection for tennis elbow- so you can see the dosage was tiny. The problem is I think my auto immune status is probably going to require low dose steroids in the future and I cant seem to find anyone who can answer the question what happens then.
Anyone know ? thanks Kitty9
