i’m 21, previous history of bilateral fibroadenomas which i found in 2024. these were not biopsied due to my age & instead diagnosed by ultrasound. over the years these have become increasingly painful to the point any pressure on either of my breasts gives me a flinching pain. in october i found a lump in my upper armpit that has not gone away, only increased in size. this lump is entirely painless but since september i have noticed itchiness on my neck, chest and jaw through the day that just doesn’t seem to go away, along with extreme fatigue (i cannot go a day without napping which as somebody who works two jobs is very unlike me, i sleep until my partner forcefully wakes me up, and then i can still fall asleep at night) which lead me to go to the dr at the start of february. my gp wasn’t sure if this was a fibroadenoma too or a swollen lymph node. i was given an urgent suspected cancer referral to the breast clinic to check the new lump as well as the two previous ones & that appointment is coming up soon. has anyone gone through something similar? what should i be expecting? i’m worried they are not going to biopsy anything again and something gets missed, particularly if this is a lymph node.
