Lymph node under armpit??

Hi there I think I have a lymph node under my armpit/side of my boob, i didn't think it was swollen and I honestly don't know if it's always been there or not but it feels like a small pea sized round lump that can move, I have the same thing in my neck and I have always had this. I am worried sick that it's the dreaded C word because I cannot think of any infections that I have had that would make my lymph node swollen. I don't even know if it is swollen. Someone tell me it's normal to sometimes be able to feel your lymph nodes 

  • Hello Lymphnode

    It's not unusual to be able to feel lymph nodes sometimes, particularly if they are close to the surface or if you've been under the weather. 

    The important thing though is to get it checked by your GP. They will be able to examine you and either offer some reassurance that all is fine or arrange for you to be seen by a specialist if they feel it's appropriate. 
    I understand how worrying it can be so do give your GP a call on Monday and get the ball rolling. 

    Let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
