Morning,
Just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience to what I'm currently going through. Three weeks ago I awoke to armpit pain. After having a feel around I discovered a lump. I went to my GP who thought it was a lymp node- although I no obvious symptoms of an infection. She asked to see me again in three weeks time. I left feeling relatively reassured.
However, as time as passed, the pain has disappeared but the lump has not. It's very moveable but difficult to describe the size. When my arm is relaxed it feels like a typical bean shape but when my arm is lifted feels more like a grape. I've even began to question if there are in fact two lumps in the same place- but perhaps this is just my anxiety running wild with me.
I'm going to make an appointment with the GP tomorrow. I'm really, really anxious about it and haven't been sleeping. I woke up sweating a number of times last night which has added to the anxiety. I went through a cancer scare this time last year and I think it's left me with health anxiety. I have two small children and the what ifs are petrifying me.
I'd be grateful to hear off anyone who has been through anything similar.
P.S Just had another feel around my breast. I can also feel a tiny lump, maybe as big as a pen top? And a slightly enlarged lymph node in addition to the other lump. So definitely 3 in total. Totally freaking out!
