I was thinking not...I want to call my neuro surgeons office but I dont want to sound like I am being a baby and this is just normal...as I was thinking the tubing would go down around the right side of my neck through my lung area and then drain in the abdomen...so when I think of how I was told about how the tubing was placed I would not have thought my breast would be a place I would feel the shunt...someone please inform me if this is a normal position of the tubing...
