Lymphodema

I had my second to last chemo treatment yesterday and the Oncologist thought I had a blood clot or lymphedema in my left arm. The Doppler confirmed no blood clot, so it is probably lymphedema. The doctor gave me a prescription to see a physical therapist and am trying to locate one now. I had sentinel lymph node biopsies on the left and right side, only three nodes removed on each side. Surgery was performed on September 2. Is this common so long after surgery?
