Breast pain and under arm pain

Hi

my mam recently seen her gp for breast pain and under arm pain but couldn't find any lumps and was referred to breast clinic due to family history of breast cancer. On examination in breast clinic the doctor immediately found a lump in the left breast but nothing in the right even tho that's where her under arm pain is. My mam has fibrocystic breasts since she's in her 20's and is in her 50's now.

awaiting for scans and tests but could take up to 3 months we are going to go private because the worry of it is eating us alive. anybody else experience this or get results from similar tests?

  • Welcome to the forum Csd5088 although I'm sorry about the lump that's been found in your mam's breast.

    Hopefully some of our members who have been in this position will share their advice and experiences with you soon but whilst you wait I just wanted to let you know we're thinking of you both and will have our fingers crossed the results of the upcoming tests and scans will bring good news.

    Kind regards,
