swelling in neck

Hello,

I was wondering if any one else has developed a swelling in their neck. I noticed that I had a soft painless swelling on the right side of my neck a couple of days ago. It is just above my clavicle. I can't feel any lump, it is just a generalised swelling about 2-3 cms in diameter.

My portacath is on the right side and I was thinking the swelling might be associated with it. Has any one ever heard of a portacath causing any problems ?

I am not due to see my doctor for 3 more weeks and I'm not sure if I should be concerned. I feel very well at the moment although I am getting a lot of sweats day and night. I don't have a fever.

Chirley
