I would absolutely tell your oncologist ASAP and request an MRI of the brain. Best to rule things out and sleep well at night...On the bright side, I did experienced this long before I had BC and it turned out to be nothing. I was told that now that I've had BC, even my hang nails have to be checked out if it was bothering me...not hangnails, but you get the idea??
