Thank you for replying. It really is so worrying. I've had lumps pop up before but they were painful small lumps that cleared after a few days. This feels totally different so it's really freaking me out. I'm really luxky and have private health cover through my work. Within 24 hours of my gp appt on the phone (Tuesday) I sent my referral and had a appt for a specialist on Monday. The wait is still killing me though. I just don't get what it could be. What does yours feel

like of you don't mind me asking? And what has your doctor said? X

Hello

i would say it feels like a really hard grape what doesn’t move but it’s really far in like you have to push Right into my armpit near my breast my doctor just said it could be because I’ve had a baby in the last year and it does weird things to your boobs  because ive had clear and white nipple discharge aswell but I have a family history of breast cancer x 

Hey 

So good news is my lump isn't anything to worry about. I saw a specialist yesterday who straight away said he thinks it's just a cyst. Then today I had a ultrasound (prefered when under 40) and was advised I would have a biopsy following that if anything looked sinister. The radiologist confirmed it was nothing to worry about but just have to wait for the specialists report to confirm exactly what it is. I really hope this gives you and/or others some peace of mind x

Hey lovely 

that is amazing so glad you had good news im hoping mine will be similar fingers crossed! I just can’t help but think the worst I’m still waiting for my appointment 

Yeh I know exactly what you mean. It's so hard not

to think the worst.

teally hope you get the same good news! Xx

Hey,

just wanted to come on here and see if you have any more news.

Was it just an armpit cyst or something else?

and if it is a cyst is it still there? 

does it grow or change size? 

Hey.
So I got it checked out by a specialist who said he didn't think it was anything to worry about but would send me for a scan anyway to be sure. I had a ultrasound due to my age and it came back as nothing to worry about thankfully. They didn't really say what it is. The lump is still there and doesn't seemed to have changed size or shape. 

hope this helps put your mind at rest if you are going through something simular. Deffinately get it checked if you are though as better to be safe than sorry x

Hi 

I had an ultrasound too which said it was an armpit cyst but since I've been on my period the cyst has grown. It has me dead worried as I can't find any information if armpit cysts can grow due to hormonal changes. 

It could be hormonal. I always get lumpy breasts around my period but I would still go to the docs to get reasurance and have a once over. If you're anything like me you won't be able to relax until you do. X
