Swelling

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

    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,
