Hi, I’m 37 and generally fit and well. I went to see my GP yesterday regarding a lower back pain. When I was there I mentioned a lump on my left armpit which in all honesty I wondered if it was even a lump at all, I thought maybe a lymph node. The dr seemed concerned and advised she would refer me for an urgent ultrasound as she hadn’t felt anything like it before. On leaving the surgery the doctor called me and advised she was in fact making me an urgent referral to the breast cancer clinic. They have called me today with an appointment on 23rd Feb and now I’m starting to worry! Does this mean the dr suspects breast cancer?
I actually felt silly mentioning it as it’s not always easy to feel , it’s more like a hard mound and not like a pea or marbel as I have read. It is tender to touch and I have a very faint burning /tingling sensation in the left breast. Also both breasts feel tender (like hormonal tender)
Has anyone else experienced something similar and what was the outcome?
Thanks
