Lump in my armpit

Hi,

I found a lump in my left armpit 2 months ago and feel pain when raising my arm. I also noticed swelling in the breast and it becomes worst when I’m having my period.

I read online that the swelling of the breast might be a hormonal change…but that still doesn’t explain the lump in my armpit. I also came across a symptom checker while googling and one of the disease predictions it gave was breast cancer…

Has anyone experienced the same symptoms, have seen a doctor, and had a diagnosis?

  • Welcome to the forum Bthee23 although I'm sorry about the lump you've found and for the worry this and your other symptoms are causing.

    Hopefully some of our members will share their experiences with you soon but if you haven't done so already, it may be worth booking an appointment with your doctor as they'll be able to examine you and let you know if this is any cause for concern. Hopefully this won't be the case, but it's always good to get any unusual or persistent symptoms checked out, if only for peace of mind.

    Fingers crossed everything will be o.k Bthee.

    Kind regards,
