I'm on week 6 of chemotherapy cream
Today my eye lids top and bottom have swollen & part of my upper check.. GP has no appointments and was told A&E but think it's not a AE problem

Hello Eidas
Our nurse team have now finished for the day and won't be back in the office until 9am tomorrow morning.
I'd suggest giving NHS 111 a call this evening. It may be that they're able to arrange for you to see an out-of-hours doctor to check the swelling. But if you have any concerns that the swelling is spreading, impacting your breathing or ability to talk/swallow or are generally worried, then please do seek medical attention from your local A&E department.
I hope that things settle for you soon.
Best wishes,
