Had Lumpectomy, Lymph-nodes Taken Out, Had Cancer. Crawling Sensation On Face. Why?
Hi I was wondering about my neck and side of my face. I get a crawling or starburst feeling once in awhile. On my left side same side I had a lumpectomy. Could it be from the radiation in which I had almost a year ago? Or is it something else I should be concerned with? Oh and I had 17 lymph nodes taken out and 5 had cancer on the same side.

Hi,
Radiation has been given at the chest wall and supraclavicular area. The symptoms you have mentioned are unlikely to be related to radiation. Anyway, clinical evaluation to be made. You should be cautious about any arm swelling in the same side. These symptom has no relation with cancer so nothing to be worried about. Follow your oncologist's direction.
