Lump on armpit aged 31

I recently found a lump on my armpit while in the shower which had appeared suddenly. It was quite large for around 5 days so I went to the doctor who examined it with another doctor and decided to send me to the breast clinic. However within the last few days the lump has became much smaller. I now feel like I'd be wasting time attending the breast clinic. I'm just looking for some advice on whether or not I should still attend. Of course I was concerned that it could be breast cancer, but since it has reduced I am feeling much less worried now. Would I be wasting their time if I still attended despite it reducing in size. Is it likely to be anything sinister if it has recuced in size ie cancer?

    I don't know if there is anything the matter, or sinister, but I do know that there other benign (non cancer) conditions that can happen in the breast. This link will tell you more about them.

    I can see you have had some good advice from Trainee she is right, do still attend your appointment, you are not wasting anyone's time. Here is a link to give you an idea of what to expect at the breast clinic 

    Take care, and hopefully you will know more soon.
