Swelling on forehead?
Today morning, I noticed swelling on my forehead. It is not tender or red. I am so scared; what could be the reason?
Hi
thanks for your question. Have you mentioned the swelling to your doctor/care team? Always be sure to keep them updated as they may have ideas or solutions to help. Are you currently on treatments? Some possible causes of swelling are detailed here as well: https://lungcancer.net/symptoms/swelling/ Thinking of you.

Margot, LungCancer.net TeamHi Margot,
Thank you for the quick response. I am currently on targeted therapy.
I talked to the nurse, he forwarded my question to the doctor.
Doctor is also not sure what it could be and asked to see family doctor or Incase of emergency go to ER.
It is not emergency, so I am waiting to see my oncologist on Nov 4th.
Regards
Sushieplease keep us posted! I'm glad you're working with your team to figure it out, and that you have an appointment soon. Palliative care (https://lungcancer.net/?s=palliative) may also be able to help if it continues, as one of its aims is to decrease any symptoms or side effects one may be experiencing. All the best,

The swelling on my forehead subsided on its own before seeing my doctor today. He was not sure what could be the reason and was not concerned.
According to the DR. My blood test and X-ray looked stable. But CT scan will have clear picture of my tumor. Which is on November 25th.
Praying to god for good results., I'm just checking in with you to see how you are today. I'm glad this scare resolved on it's own. How was your scan, and how have you been doing since? - Warmly, Donna (Team Member)
