Hi @Caseypinto
Yep I had that weird sensation too after my lumpectomy and axillary clearance,  every time I had a cold drink it felt like it was running down my chest / breast. I think it's nerve related after the surgery.  Good news is it did go away for me after a little while.
Best wishes for your treatment.

    I had small lumpectomy 9oclock position 3 weeks ago and one lymph node removed.  Everytime I drink a cold drink the first few swallows I feel it cold in the boob where the lumpectomy was, it feels so weird.
