Lump in armpit

Hi everyone,  I just wanted to ask your advice as I’m completely panicking!! 

3 weeks ago I found a lump in my Left arm pit. Small softish lump. I went to the doctor and he said he’s not worried. He felt all my breasts, said lymph nodes were fine, he noticed that my breasts were quite lumpy at the top but I said that’s always been like it. He said about it potentially being hormonal but I have the coil and don’t get periods so not sure where I am on my cycle to know if it is hormonal. Anyways he said to come back in 2 weeks if not gone. I went back yesterday as i can still feel it. Saw a different doctor who said he couldn’t feel anything. I kept putting his finger on where I could feel it but he thinks it’s a muscle I’m feeling as I have to pull down the skin to feel the lump. It feels quite longish. He’s referred me to Breast clinic anyways for piece of mind but I’m just super panicking now. I keep getting pains in my side and in my chest but I’m constantly panicking and stressing that it’s the worse outcome  I’m 33 with 2 children. No family history of any cancer. I have Crohn’s disease and am on 2 lots of immune suppressants. I just keep thinking I have cancer and I’m going to die and I’m just so worried :-( Sorry to post but just wanted someone who could relate to talk to. Xx

 

Also just to add I have recently switched Crohn’s meds’ wuthin the last month, though the doctor said this is irrelevant and I currently have a cold. Xx

  • Hey I’ve been in the same place an I do panic like ur self, Im always checking for lumps as I always think I’m going have cancer an both my mum an dad have lost there life to it, about 3months ago I found a lump under my armpit an clearly shows if I hold my arm, I went to the doctors An he checked an he said he wasn’t worried but sent me to get any, An I was worried as I’m only 37 with 2 kids an no family, so I went An they scanned it but nothing bad, they couldn’t say what it was as nothing showed up, very strand an still have it,,also so I had a lumpy bits in my rite boob an a pain in my chest was sent to  The breast clinic ad scan an they it was a bit of tissue that hearden more an flare up when hormones changes An so far still all gd,,hope urs will be the same an both to worry about xx

  • Hi there 

    How did you get on? I'm in a similar position and waiting for tests. Hoping my breast and armpit lump are hormonal after changing pills...twice...in last few months.

    Thanks so much x
