Hi. For the past 2 months, I have a node in my armpit which is very noticeable to touch. It's close to the skin but can't see the node when I look in the mirror.
I did a general check 2 months ago of my breasts, and felt a lump in my right armpit. I really was pushing in with my hands and really feeling all over during my check. It's a soft lump and i can move it. I don't have any other symptoms which has got me worried. Now I don't know if it's always been there as I don't always push in quite hard during my breast checks and I've happened to notice it now, as I'm also quite slim.
I've also checked my left armpit to compare and can feel a soft palable lump but it's deeper in the armpit and not as big as my right armpit. Am I being paranoid?? I've done the silly thing and googled it, and I now can't stop thinking about. I don't think the lump has gotten any bigger, but I'm paranoid it has. I know I need to make an appointment with my GP, but I have a busy few months ahead and will struggle to book an appointment. I will do as soon as though.
Any ideas, or others with similar stories to put my mind at rest.
Thanks
