Hi, I am new here, my mum is 68 and has oral cancer, her second occurrence and this time it is terminal and she is receiving palliative care.

She came off palliative Chemo two months ago and the swelling of her face has progressively got a lot worse, in particular her lips and under her eyes. The doctors all say there is nothing they can do about it but I read some where on here a while ago that some patients used steroid creams with good results.

I would be grateful if anyone can tell me the names of the steroids and their experience using them or any other things that worked for them.
