  schema:description "Cancer in or spreading to the brain can raise the pressure inside the skull. A headache that is worse in the morning or on coughing, being sick without feeling sick, new confusion, a fit or a change in vision needs a same-day call to your cancer team. Usually a brain scan is done and a steroid called dexamethasone is started to reduce the swelling, then lowered as soon as it can be."@en ;
