Ongoing issue with right armpit

I have been having a funny feeling in my right armpit for a fair few months now. It often feels swollen and fatty and then occasionally it feels itchy and the itch then spreads from my armpit and across my chest. 

I originally put the pain down to being pregnant (baby born May May this year) and then again with my body trying to return to normal after birth. 

I have foolishly Googled my symptoms and the word Cancer is popping up at every opportunity! I'm terrified it could be cancer! I'm planning on calling the Drs tomorrow morning - but unsure on how things will be dealt with and how long it will take to be seen by a specialist l, if necessary.

Just to throw in there Im 32 years old.

I'm not sure why I'm posting- maybe just seeking some reassurance.

    Try and stay away from Dr Google as it always comes up with worse case scenario and it can't diagnose you. Glad you are going to see your GP, of they feel you need to be seen by a breast clinic it could take anything between 2 weeks or perhaps even months, depending on how urgent they think the situation is. Just like Dr Google, no one on here can diagnose you but I personally wouldn't take your symptoms and jump to thinking its cancer. I hope your GP can put your mind at rest. Take care and enjoy that little baby of yours. x
