Breast Clinic Visit

I’m just back from the breast clinic and was told by the consultant that the bump I’ve been feeling under my arm is my muscle. It has gone down significantly to be fair and he said the redness was caused by me constantly touching it which has caused it to be inflamed.

I was told by my GP she was sure if it was my lymph nodes or ribbed muscle so was referred for an ultrasound.

I just wanted to put my mind at ease as I didn’t get the ultrasound. It was very quick, I was in the room for 5 minutes and he was certain it was muscle. I’m relieved but my sister after talking with her keeps asking me why I wasn’t given the ultrasound.

Thank you.

  • When the consultant examined me and felt a lump at the bottom of my armpit he related it to what he felt in the left breast.  He was convinced that the two were the result of cancer and ordered a mammogram followed by ultrasound and biopsies.  I presume that if there was no breast problem an ultrasound would not be needed. Do not listen to your sister!  I hope you will trust the consultant's verdict.and feel happy that you will not need treatment.
