Lump in right armpit lump in left breast

Hi everyone  a few weeks back I found a hard lump in my armpit, my doctor told me to keep checking myself over the next few weeks to make sure there were no other lumps. After a week I noticed a lump in my left breast, I've been referred for a mammogram, safe to say in the mean time I feel sick everytime I think about it, I'm terrified at what it could be. Has anyone else had a similar experience with lumps being in opposite sides? 

  • Hello Ktj28

    I'm sorry to hear that you've had some concerns with lumps in your breast and armpit over the past few weeks. It's good to hear that your GP has referred you for these to be investigated. 

    Try to remember that there are many different reasons for these kind of lumps and over 80% of women who are seen at breast clinic with a lump  aren't diagnosed with cancer. 
    Hopefully you won't have to wait too long for your appointment but if you'd like to talk things through with one of our team of nurses you're welcome to call them. I'm sure they will be able to offer some advice and support. They are available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Best wishes,
