Due To Start Chemotherapy, Had Mastectomy And Port In Chest Area. What Is The Spot On Right Clavicle?

XRAY/Radiologist Question: Yesterday had a port put into right upper chest area. Will start chemo in a few weeks. 4 weeks ago had a left mastectomy with 24/27 pos. lymph nodes, all margins clear post surgery. Today, Xray taken of port placement. Got a call that the oncologist saw what is a small spot on right clavicle. What could it be? Also of note, noticed afterwards that two square sticky things with buttons (maybe from monitor the day before) were on my upper back behind the right clavcle area - which probably has nothing to do with it. I am worried about this small spot any sort of idea of what it could be?

Radiologist,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

It is very difficult to imagine what could be the small spot on right clavicle. If you were on monitors and tubes while X ray was taken, it could be shadow of that. I can also be anything in your clothing. You may discuss this with the oncologist himself and take an opinion from your radiologist. If necessary a CT scan chest may be done.

Hope this helps
