Lump in armpit

I don't know if I'm the right place.. I'm 24 years old and a mother of three children. Around 5 weeks ago I found a large lump under my armpit I visited the doctor straight away and she told me to leave it for 2-3 weeks and come back if it was still there. fast forward 5 weeks it is still there and the doctor is sending me to a breast clinic in 2 weeks. The lump has gone down and changed shape. But I am going out of my mind with worry I'm googling constantly can't focus on everything and really thinking the worse I can't function. I've convinced my self I have lymphoma cancer or breast cancer that has spread.  Anyone have any advice? 

  • hi there i didnt want to read your post and not reply.......i understand how scared you are, i found a lump under my armpit a few week ago and reading up on google etc made me sick with worry! i was imagining every symtom under the sun related to breast cancer, i read that hard immobile lumps like mine was more likely to be cancer, i was petrified, anyway i went to the doctors thinking they would refer me to breast clinic and she felt my lump and said it was a blocked pore.....so all that worry for nothing! i still was worrying that maybe she had got it wrong but it has now near enough dissapeared thank the lord!!.....i have never felt fear like that.......but just know that its not always the worst case scenario!....theres so many things it could be, and unlikely to be cancer. but its routine when they refer u as they need to cover there backs just incase!........only 1 in 10 people that go to the clinic is diagnosed with cancer, so try not to worry too much, but i know that is easier said than done xx hope everything turns out well for you xx
