Severe Internal Pain And Tightness In Neck After Second Cycle Of FEC Chemotherapy

Hi, I had my second cycle of FEC chemotherapy 4 days ago and have developed severe internal pain and tightness in my neck in the vicinity of the port tube. Could this be delayed signs of extravasation or potential infection? They had 5 attempts at accessing my port and speared my flesh all of those times, could this have caused an infection

Hello dear. The cause of severe pain and tightness in neck around your port can be due to the chemotherapy extravasation or may be due to fracture of the port or due to the port thrombosis. You need to visit your doctor immediately.
