Lung Cancer

[Raggety]

Hiya,

I've just recently been diagnosed with lung cancer, and the past couple of days my knees have been swelling and very painful and my left side arm. Has anyone any recommendations how to bring swelling down. Thank you

Hi sorry I'm not sure how to bring this swelling down but I think you need to speak to your lung team about it 😔
