First time poster here - I hope somebody can offer me some advice. I am terrified. 6 weeks ago I went to my doctors because I had a small, tender swelling in my arm pit, she told me it was a lymph node, to take some anti inflammatory medication and if it doesn’t go down to come back. She also gave me a breast examination and said everything felt fine, she didn’t seem worried at all. Fast forward to now, that lymph node has grown which is still tender and I now have 2 more painless, hard lymph nodes appear, 1 on each armpit. My left has 2 and my right has 1. I’ve googled and all that’s came up is CANCER CANCER CANCER.
Im booking straight in tomorrow morning to see my doctor but can somebody offer me some reassurance on something else that cause hard, painless lymph node swellings? I’m going out of my mind with worry. I’m a 23 year old female.
