Hi Steph, I also have a BARD port. I have had it in for more than 2 and a half years now. I have it in the inside of my upper arm. I often find that I get a little bit of swelling below the elbow. I can't work it out at all. I have asked the chemo nurses and they don't seem too concerned and I don't have a fever. I am sorry that you have had these current problems, I hope they can resolve it all soon.
Regards, Roz
