19 years old, breast lump, armpit lump, and shooting pain!

I am absolutely terrified. Everything I read online with my symptoms lead to breast cancer. I’m 19 years old, when I was 17 I found a lump in my breast. I went to the doctor about it, and she actually found 2 lumps. I am ultrasound, and the radiologist said it was Fibroadenoma and to come back in 6 months. Well, I didn’t have health insurance so I never went back.

i started to get really bad shooting pains on the same side as my tumors, through my collar bone and deep into my armpit. It got worse over time, but I thought maybe I pinched a nerve. So I delt with it. One day I began to think maybe this involved my lymph nodes, so I panicked. I went back to the doctor and they looked at my tumor again, but I was so scared I only told them about the one tumor I noticed 2 years ago, didn’t tell them about the other one. The other one, I couldn’t really feel so I thought it shrunk. They did a biopsy on the one I told them about, and it came back benign.

now I am still getting those sharp pains, so I went back to a surgeon, who viewed both of them. She recommended to have them both removed, and my surgery is in 2 weeks. 

A couple days ago i was having those sharp pains in my armpit again, and I’ve noticed a hard, sore lump! It’s not that big, but I’m freaking out. Everything I read leads to cancer. Please help! Has anyone experienced anything like this and didn’t end up having cancer? Can Fibroadenoma affect lymph nodes? So terrified! Can’t stop crying! Please help guys!

 

  • Hi, sorry I don't mean to pry but this sounds like something I have! I've got breast tissue in my armpit and it's been there for 10 odd years and since June last year I have this awful chest, back, shoulder and armpit pain, sometimes goes down my arm too. I've been to the doctors and they keep prescribing medication and I don't want to take loads of tablets I want to know what's happening in my body! Have you had any answers? Thanks xx x
