Hi Everyone,

So I'm 8 weeks pregnant and have found a small lump in my left armpit. It's right in the deep bit. I've been to see the GP who said it doesn't feel suspicious and he thinks it's just a lymph node but has sent me for an ultrasound as a precaution. This is the end of next week.

I've had a lump in this armpit before, again during pregnancy, but in the last pregnancy I miscarried. When it was scanned last time I'm sure she said it was nothing but excess tissue (but I had a lump in my breast at the same time) so I can't remember if she said it was both excess tissue or just the breast was and the armpit was nothing. But I'm desperately clinging on to the fact it could hopefully be the same tissue/issue? Could pregnancy have caused the tissue to feel like a lump again? I suggested to my GP that it was maybe just a pregnancy hormone thing for me... He didn't say anything just sort of hmmd. 

I had my bloods taken by the midwife and everything was fine-would that have been the case if I had cancer?

I am so frightened. I have an amazing 7 year old daughter and I'm so worried for her at what this is and what it means for us. I have cried every day since finding this lump. I've tried not touching it and sometimes I think it's gone but then I move position and boom there it is.

I know that nobody other than the scan can tell me the answers. But I needed to write down my fears and hopefully get some reassurance please?

Thank you for reading.
