Lump underarm

I was reading in the forum about people having found lumps under their arms/lymph nodes and wandered what results they had please. I have a lump in my left armpit and can't find any lumps in my breast. Breasts look normal. I have been referred and awaiting appointment in the next two weeks. The doc said it was an inflamed lymph node and I have no visible fever or infection. Obviously my mind is working overtime and I'm very worried which has made me look in here today and join your forum. I only went to doctors yesterday and now have to wait for a letter.

  • Hi Karen,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. It's good to hear you've had a referral as hopefully you'll be able to get some answers soon. I can understand the wait is difficult. Some people say it helps to keep busy and to try to keep your mind off things while waiting.

    I'm sure there will be others here who have had a similar experience and so perhaps you'll get further replies soon. It's worth noting that everyone is different and so other people's experiences may be different to your own.

    I hope you don't have to wait too much longer to find out more.

    Wishing you all the best,

    im having similar problems. 
    what ended up happening? 
    how big was the lymph node in your arm?

    was it tender or painful?
