Hello.

I will make this short and sweet. I am due to attend a breast clinic appointment to investigate a small lump in my right breast so naturally I've been hyper focused on my boobs. Until I found the small lump I thought I knew my breasts and what was my normal. But I've suddenly noticed things I hadn't before, probably from an increased obsession of feeling them. 

So my question.

I have noticed small pea like bumps on the outside of my breasts, quite near the armpits, just under the skin. It doesn't require a lot of pressure to feel them. I know this is where lymph nodes are but I'm not entirely sure if I SHOULD be able to actually feel them. I am a slim build (UK size 8). With the finding of the lump I'm just looking for some reassurance that this can be normal for some women. 

Thank you.
