Armpit lymph node

My daughter is 22 years old and has a small bean shaped swelling in her armpit it's not hard it's squashy and sort of rubbery to feel she has no other symptoms just noticed it when she scratched her armpit.....we are seeing our GP tomorrow at 9.30  

As a mom I try very hard but I suffer health anxiety and I feel so anxious incase it's somthing sinister obviously I don't share my concern with my daughter as I don't want her to worry x

  • Hi Olivia and welcome to the forum.

    I'm sorry to hear about the swelling your daughter has found in her armpit but I hope her GP appointment went well and the both of you now have some much needed answers and peace of mind.

    If either of you have any follow up questions or would find it helpful to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses, you can give them a call on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they will do all they can to support you and give you any further information and advice you are seeking at this time.

    We're thinking of you Olivia and will have our fingers crossed everything will be o.k.

    Best wishes to you both,
