I'm a bit scared

Hello, I found a lump under my armpit so my dr gave me antibiotics and it hasn't gone down after the weeks course so she did a breast exam and found a lump in my breast. I woke up this morning and there is a big angry looking rash underneath my breast. She is sending me for a scan. 

Thank you for reading x

  • Hello Jesss9 and thanks for posting

    I am sorry to hear you are being sent for more tests after finding a lump in your armpit.

    There could be many reasons for this other than cancer so try not to over think things too much for now.

    You have done the right thing getting it checked out and now your doctor is sending you for a scan where this can be assessed further.

    I hope you know more soon and that everything will turn out okay for you.

    Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Best wishes
