Lump in armpit

I found a lump in the top part of my armpit just where my arm and armpit meet. Can this be cancer? As all the stories I've read are all of lumps in the lower armpit and under. I have been keeping an eye on it for about 3 months now and it's only gotten a little big bigger. I do sometimes get shooting pains from my armpit to my left breast too. Could they be connected. Thank you for reading

  • Hello Dani1109

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently found a lump. There could be many reasons that have caused this but it's important that you seek an appointment with your GP who will be able to examine you and either offer some reassurance or arrange any appropriate tests or referrals. 

    Please do give them a call to get this checked. 

    Best wishes,
