Hi Rosanne I am sorry you feel so rotten today. The neck swelling could be viral. Can you get to a doctor tomorrow to see what is going on.?

Look when are you back at clinic or for treatment. Perhaps ring your nurse on Monday. For now rest though I suspect you are sick of resting. Take paracetamol if you need it. It could be glandular fever when you feel so tired. Keep hydrated even if you can't be bothered. I am doing ok seeing onc mid August for result of c.t scan from June. We do go through a lot with OC dont we. Mind yourself

Got to go to Bristol on Monday to sign up for trial then it will two weeks to start chemo so I'm thinking the 15th august as for glandular fever I would have a temperature I would think and I do drink plenty thanks nice to hear you are doing ok and I'm ok just feeling sorry for myself thanks for replying to me xxx

Rosanne, you are wise to pay attention to swelling in your neck. This is not to be dismissed. What may initially appear as fluid build up can actually be the start of infection. It is possible to have infection WITHOUT fever. So, be sure to be seen by your doctor soon. (How do I know this? Had a swelling, no temp, was infected, needed drain installed to get all fluid out.)
