Two lumps in armpit

Hi, 

I've been reading through the forums and what a lot of lovely people and information. Thank you so much to all that posted and then also have their final news. It really does help. 
I found a lump a month ago in my armpit and thought it would go away. So I went to the doctor yesterday and have my screening appointment on Tuesday. Doctor found another lump also in my armpit. 
rheyre the size of peas and the top one aggravates me. I don't know if it's because I know it's there or becwsue im so flipping tense I'm just making myself feel uncomfortable. 
my husband works awake and leaves tomorrow tonight for 8 weeks. I've been fine but am starting to go into panic mode 

haven't told my mum as she isn't well and I don't want to panic her. Husband thinks I need to tell her. Do I need to know my family history when I go to the screening? Sadly my cousin died of breast cancer but I'm not sure on the rest of the family history  

 

sorry this has been a bit of a long post

thank you so much if you've read this far ha ha xx 

  • I have had a lymph node under my arm it sat there for yrs before being removed by my breast surgeon, only then as it became bigger and uncomfortable. I hope you have a similar experience and all is ok. 
    The breast clinic are really helpful and they can put your mind to rest, talking to someone it doesn't have to be family can help. My husband didn't say much, he has been at sea all our married life so lve got used to getting on with problems alone. He's great when lve needed help. 
    Do take care try to relax

  • Hi Susie,

    thank you for your lovely reply. Glad you were ok with yours. It's all a worry isn't it. I'm sure it's nothing but doesn't stop you worrying. Tuesday can't come quick enough but also I don't want it to ever come if that makes sense xx 

  • It makes total sense hope all goes well. Fingers crossed for you.
    If they remove the node l would suggest being prepared for the wound to leak as mine did for weeks! 
    pre op they said you may have a bit of leakage! Ha Ha.

    Have a nice weekend 

    Susie

  • Hi Susie, 

    I've been and all is ok thank goodness. Lymph node is a bit swollen but that's not the lump I can feel. So nothing to be tested now. Was in and out in an hour and had mammogram and ultrasound. I feel exhausted with all the worry and sleepless nights but am over the moon. Thank you for your lovely messages xx stay well and healthy xx 

  • Great news you can relax now put your feet up and spoil yourself. I glad they scanned you and your reassured 

    Take care 

    Susie
