Hello all,

3 years after completing radiotherapy for lung cancer I developed a bony lump on the upper right of my forehead. 8 months ago I saw a GP about it mentioning my cancer medical history. He completely dismissed the lump as I’d had a fall on my face quite a few months prior although the damage was to the bridge of my nose and the opposite side of my head therefore not where the lump was. I had a follow up appointment with my oncologist after a CT 6 month check up when I showed him the forehead lump. He was sufficiently concerned enough to order a head MRI which showed a metastases quite osdibly from the lung which he said was v unusual  I’m also EGFR positive which means I’m more likely to suffer from cancer spreading. I’ve got a biopsy next month followed by whatever my oncologist feels is most suitable treatment. My question is has anyone else had a spread from lung to head given it’s unusual and sorry for this long post. I’m worried about a spread to the brain. I’m also furious with the GP who dismissed it knowing it could’ve grown in 8 months. Thanks and hoping for advice Pray
