Hi there @kmcin28. Is the pain in your arm on your treated side (like did you have nodes removed on that side or radiotherapy ) or is this in tbe side of infusion.
So look at your arm against the other. Is it bigger? Is it inflammed or swollen, hot to touch ir red looking.
It could be cellulitis, lymphodema.
Please contact the chemo unit or breast care nurse tomorrow to discuss.
If there is noticeable swelling and/ or redness and heat please go to the Emergency department at your closest hospital and have it checked out.
Let us know how it goes. Kath. X
