Lump in lymph nords in armpit

Hi, i was wondering if anybody else has experienced what i am going through. I have a pea sized lump in my left armpit just above where the breast starts. i felt this a few months ago it isn’t painful. I went to the doctor as it wasn’t going, doctor referred me to breast clinic, was seen within a week. When the doctor examined me he told me it was a lymph nord, he said they were going to do a mammogram and ultrasound and maybe a biposy. i had all three done.  When i went back in to see the doctor after the procedure he showed me  the swollen lymph nord and mentioned he did a biopsy because the wall of the lymph nord was thickened and wanted to check it. He said my mamogram looked okay
Week and half later hospital called and said they have discussed my case and and need to do further investigations and another biposy. As they see a shadow on my left breast. This is the same breast that i have the swollen lymph nord. I am due to go back to hospital next week.

Has anybody gone through anything similar ?

  • Hi Helstonsa,

    A very warm welcome to our forum. Unfortunately, not all tests are as clear cut as we would like and we often have to have further tests. The doctors are very thorough and don't want to leave any stone unturned. I know that this can be a frustrating and worrying experience, but it doesn't always mean bad news. In the long run, it is better that they are absolutely certain before they give you a definite diagnosis.

    I hope that all goes well for you next week and that you won't have too long to wait for the biopsy results.

    Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
