I had a 2week pathway Breast Clinic referral after reporting 10/14 days of discomfort in upper arm next to breast, and near front of armpit and a sort of intermittent long 'line' if breasts were flexed/pushed together.  I saw consultant who did physical exam + mammogram.  These were both fine and he said it could be hormonal - I'm perimenopausal and started HRT 5 months ago.

I am getting worried now because the pain is still there, and now I can actually feel the fatty pad at front of armpit looks bigger on sore side and I can now feel something like two small  grains of rice when I press around the front of that armpit!

My problem is that we're going abroad for a wedding till 24th, so soonest I can see GP again is 27th. I don't know what to do as the holiday is for family wedding and will be 1st we've seen family since Covid started.

This last 2 years have been awful with some major illnesses + losses.  I'm now scared again that this is serious and I'm doing harm by delaying further investigations.

if it is serious, will waiting another 2.5 weeks negatively impact anything?  Not sure I could cancel the trip (we leave tomorrow) and even if I did, GP is so busy I may not even get seen before 27th!!

Sorry to sound so dramatic, the clear mammogram/consultant exam should reassure me, but the pain/swelling is concerning (& I heard that mammograms can be wrong)
