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?

  • Definitely go to the appointment l have had a lymph node that went up and down for years being watched by my surgeon, when it became a permanent fixture, sore and not going down l had it removed not cancerous fortunately but no further problems.  They may scan under your arm to check what's going on, they will be able to reassure you. 
    take care
