Hard immovable lump upper arm

Hi - wondering if anyone has had anything like this.. I found a small (pea-sized) lump on the upper part of my arm, not quite inside more facing outwards towards my right breast. It doesn't feel like it moves and almost feels like it's attached to a cord. It is quite deep and the dr has suggested it is not a cyst, but rather a lymph node. I am absolutely petrified and my referral isn't for another 2 weeks. 
Has anyone had the same? And any help or suggestions with controlling anxiety? I have gotten so bad I can barely function. Thank you x

  • Hi NN2020,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to read about your worries - it's always difficult waiting for appointments and further information.

    The best thing often is to try to keep your mind off things by keeping busy and distracted. Try to avoid dwelling on it too much if you can, and steer clear of Google which is rarely helpful.

    I hope the appointment comes around quickly and that you're able to find out more soon.

    Wishing you all the best,
