2 hard lumps in one armpit- Mothers mum had breast cancer.

Good Day,

As you can probably tell by the description. I’ve found two lumps in my left armpit. They can be tender when felt and sometimes tender when lifting my armpit up. If left alone there ok. Ones central and a little bigger and the other one is lower and not so big, reasonably hard, not soft. There a no lumps in my breasts at all, o feel myself, but when looking up my symptoms it says online that feeling full when not eating much is a sign of cancer, which is a symptom I’ve actually been suffering from. Also my Nanna has breast cancer years ago, luckily she’s fine now, all clear. There are no lumps in my right armpit. Also, I’m pretty sure I noticed a few weeks back, but I thought the lump had disappeared now I’m kicking myself as I believe I’ve left it to long.

Im 22, and have a 6 month old little one, could this also be any connection? Or what are the chances it’s cancer? I’ve got an appointment today, I hope I get in!

 

please respond anyone.

thanks :( 

  • Hi EmilyJane, I don’t have experience in your symptoms so I’m not really in a position to offer advice there..but clearly you are doing the right thing by getting your armpit checked. All I can say is try not to worry..this is where I do have the experience..the worry that you can create in your own head is enough to make you ill in itself. Talk to family/friends who I’m sure will rationalise your worries. Hope you get your appointment soon xx
