Hi there I'm 41 yrs old & hope someone has had a similar scenario to mine and all is well? Anyone ever experienced numbness under their right breast and all of their armpit but no lump can be felt? Had this for a week or so now and scared to go to the gp, but I've got a phone consultation booked for next Friday so fingers crossed as not sure what to expect.

    HI Ktpoppy,

    A very warm welcome to our forum,

    I am sorry to hear about your symptoms. Please don't be scared to go to your GP. One in two people have breast cancer, so doctors are quite used to dealing with it, unfortunately.  I have had 2 bouts of breast cancer in the past 13 years and have had tremendous care from my GP and my care team at the hospital. They are all very understanding and pleasant.

    You have done the right thing by booking a telephone appointment with your GP, although h/she may want to see you to check that there is no lump present.

    I sincerely hope that nothing untoward is found. Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
