Port a cath

Hi all, I never thought in a million years I would need to be posting here. I was Diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, with a few affected lymph Nodes in January. Ive had 4 dose dense treatments so far, and next week I'm to start Taxol. I will have a lumpectomy after that, then radiation is the plan. 
I had a port put in 5 weeks ago. I developed a clot in a superficial vein.  I would say it took a good 4 weeks after surgery to feel good. After my treatment last Thursday I was tender and feeling some discomfort. 
So I guess I'm just wondering what other people have experienced with their ports?
