Sorry Chelee, don't remember where you are in the process. Heart rate could be due to premeds if your'e doing them, benadryl and decadron++. My heart would race but has stopped now that I'm Herceptin only. The other location for a port is on your chest above unaffected breast. The area would sometimes be sore after an infusion, but after so many you get use to it. Unless you have a huge pocket of fluid somewhere you're probably getting your meds. The chest port is probably more convenient but not as pretty as arm. Good Luck, BB
