Question for Sheila
 

When you found your infra or supraclavicular nodes were positive, were they causing you any pain? Was that area tender?

Thanks, Brenda

Brenda
They were not painful but tender to touch, but they appeared rather quickly, to the point of being noticed. Even so much as a necklace that hit in that particular spot, would be an irritation. I hope this helps....mine did not show up on a CT scan by the way!

Thanks Sheila.
This morning I have a tender area right at the base of my neck and both above and below where the collarbone is. It seems a little swollen, though it's hard to tell. I can't compare it to the other side due to that side having the port so close to that spot.
It also is a little tender going up my neck from there too.

Could just be a little lymph swelling from who knows what, but if it's still bothering me next week, I'll bring it with my Onc. I see him the day after Christmas.

I could feel a definative lump, and could see it "pop" up when I turned my head to the side...but you must remember that we can get inflamed swollen nodes from a cold, sinus, viral, infection...so if it doesn't go away, get it checked...even when I got mine checked, the Dr's swore it was nothing...the biopsy showed otherwise. I am hoping yours is nothing...I have been fighting nodes for over 4 years!
