Swollen armpit

I have recently had an ultrasound due to a swollen lymph nodes. My ultrasound showed swollen soft tissue but when sent to my doctor's signed off as normal. The sonographer said there wasn't a lump for him to circle but he could see it was swollen soft tissue. 

 

My armpit is now quite swollen. Both my breasts are inverted, the side of the swelling being new. I have had blood tests which were normal and awaiting a request of a mammogram. 

 

Has anyone else experienced this?

  • Hello Lm1642 and thank you for posting on Cancer Chat.

    I’m just posting a quick response to let you know that from this morning the Cancer Chat forum will be in read only mode while we carry out essential maintenance.

    This means that nobody will be able to reply to your post until the forum is back up and running on Wednesday.

    We wouldn’t like you to think that nobody cared enough to reply so I just thought I would let you know that you might have to wait a few days to get a response.

    Kind regards,

  • Welcome to the forum Lm1642 although I'm sorry to hear about your symptoms.

    I know this must be worrying but fingers crossed the request for a mammogram is approved and you can get a step closer to some much needed answers and peace of mind.

    Hopefully some of our members who have been in a similar situation will be along soon to share their experiences and advice but in the meantime, we're thinking of you Lm1642 and will have our fingers crossed everything will be o.k.

    Kind regards,
