Lump under arm/breast

Hello, I'm looking for reassurance really. I've found a small pea sized lump under my armpit/chest wall next to my breast. The lump is soft and moveable but it's been there for a few months. I'm 34, have two children and am in a state of anxiety. The doctor has referred me to the breast clinic for an urgent appointment. This has made me anxious too. I just can't really think of anything else and hope someone can offer some words of comfort. 

  • I noticed this is your first post on Cancer Chat, Hturner so I wanted to stop by to welcome you to the forum.

    I'm sorry to hear that you found a small lump under your armpit/chest but I'm glad your doctor has referred you to the breast clinic. A lot of times they want to rule things out so please try not to worry too much until you hear more from your medical team.

    Many other ladies came here with similar concerns and I hope you'll get to chat with some of them very soon, as talking our worries over with those who can understand does seem to help a bit.

    Until then, if you want to give our team of nurses a call and ask them some questions, they are available on this number 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday, between 9 a.m - 5 p.m.

    And once you know more, come back and give us an update. We're keeping our fingers crossed for you.

    All the best,
