Hello everyone

I feel very selfish dumping all my worries here on a Saturday night, sorry

On December 15th I went to my GP with a left side armpit lump - she immediately said it needed a biopsy and referred me to our 2 ww/Fast track breast clinic. My family have a big history of breast cancer. I told her I'd had a clear mammogram in September 2021 and she said that wasn't much use as the mammogram doesnt go into your armpit

I am still waiting for my appointment - Christmas and so many poor NHS staff off with covid makes everything more difficult I know. Yesterday and today I have started to experience some pain radiating out of the armpit and also in my shoulder blade which is freaking me out completely!  Someone needs to disconnect the wifi to make me stop googling NOW!

Do I'm just wondering if anyone has had experience of an armpit lump, whether it's always cancer and whether the doctor knew it was bad when she said I needed a biopsy?  Sorry to be so selfish with all my questions. I have noticed an inverted nipple on the same side but it isn't inverted all the time, only occasionally - I'm hoping it wouldn't 'pop in and out' (sorry for so much detail!) if a mass was pulling it in? I hope you are all staying safe and well and thank you for reading this far

I daren't keep looking at it/feeling it
