KathyA,
I had a swollen arm on the port side right after my first chemo. It was very painful though. I had a doppler ultrasound since they thought it was a clot. Turned out to be phlebitis. I began chemo only 10 days after my third surgery for the bc. Apparently my veins were infected from one of the iv's in the hospital, my white count dropped so that I couldn't fight any infection.
I hope things go better for you.
