Hi 

I have just joined so i apologise if i have not posted in the correct place

I know its not possible to speed up the process or give me a diagnosis, but i am losing my mind!

I found a lump under my armpit, right in the center, its about 1.5mm (doctor measured) its not painful and it does not move, its also hard.  Knowing the warning signs i did go to my doctor straight away.  He seemed more concerned than me, he has said it could be a cyst, he said he couldnt feel my glands (i dont know what that means) but he wants to arrange a scan just in case ( i was panicking so much i dont know what kind of scan) he was asking me about my breasts, which i stupidly don't check, but will do now!  So i assume its an ultrasound of my armpit lump, and not my breasts.  I havent felt ill, i litterally just found this lump.  Ive tried feeling for lumps, but i have lumpy tissue in my breasts, and always have, which is why i never really know how to check... the doctor offered to check them, but i was with my 3 year old, and he also had an appointment just before me for a kidney infection, so i thought if im getting scanned anyway, whats the point in worrying more, if he does find a lump im not going to be put at ease by that.  I just really cant function atm, im 30 with 3 small children, im petrified its cancer!

Has anyone experienced something simular?
