Brief Answer:
Not with steroids, possible with some anticonvulsants.
Detailed Answer:
I read your question carefully and I understand your situation, especially considering the unfortunate location not permitting surgery.
However regarding the specific question you do not need to worry, there is no interaction between CBD oil and steroids. They can be safely used together.
As for antiepileptics (anticonvulsants - different class from steroids like decadron) situation may change. That is because CBD may influence the action of some liver enzymes like cytochrome P450 which in turn is involved in the metabolism of some drugs including some antiepileptics. However that applies not to any anticonvulsant, only to a few which are metabolized by the liver. So to be more precise I would need to know the name of the antiepileptic in question.
I remain at your disposal for other questions.
