So I found a lump under my left armpit about 4 weeks ago, with Christmas etc I didn't get to see my GP until last Friday 6th Jan. I booked the appointment as I'd also noticed part of my left breast felt harder than usual. Anyway went to the GP thinking oh it'll be possible infection or something. During the GP examining me she also found a second lump in my armpit and completed and urgent referal to the breast clinic. 

I quickly received my appointment which is a week today. I'm so worried that it's breast cancer as my father's maternal and paternal family history had alot of breast cancers. Im still shell shocked with mixed emotions. I'm trying to stay positive especially for my family but honestly I'm struggling and feeling very lost.

Will biopsies be taken from my armpit or will they remove the lumps to test?

I have so many questions that I know can't be answered until I go to my appointment.

Has anyone else experienced anything similar?

Thanks in advance
