Ann,
I don't have any
Ann,
I don't have any advice, but I can say the same thing happened to my mom. Her breast swelled up & got red a few days after her 1st chemo & her drain removal. They put her on antibiotics & watched the swelling, it went down but when she finished the antibiotics it swelled up again. she ended up in the hospital & they removed 80cc's of fluid, and put another drain back in for 3 days. Since then (2 weeks ago) though it's been removed & has been fine. Hang in there sister, it will get better. Chemo is really hard but do-able -i hope your treatments go by fast & take it easy on you
*hugs*

Please ... please ... insist on being checked out AGAIN. Chemo maybe causing some of your issues ...
You may need to have a drain inserted, again.
So very sorry!
Strength and Courage
