Marcia,

The only way to stop the worry is probably to request for an MRI (of the head) and check with your doctors about other diagnostic tests.

Really didn't want to scare you - but before my life-long brain tumor was found, I had those weird 'tingling' sensations off and on for many years. When I took Anatomy & Physiology 4, 5 years after my brain tumor surgery, I finally found the explanation of those weird sensations.

The 12 cranial nerves link to all sorts of organs (skin is considered an 'organ') in our body. If there's any tumor (or scar tissue)pressing on a nerve in the shoulder/breast area, we will probably feel the irritation.

Since your CA 15-3 is normal and you've just finished the vaccine trial, I'd think chances are that the scar tissues had caused the tingling feelings. Can you get an appointment and find out for sure?
