husband had a check on a lump in his breast

my husband went for a check for a lump in his breast - its where his nipple is its quite large and he now has alot of tenderness in his armpit on the same side - i was supposed to go to the appt with him but he left without me , 

anyway he didnt say much about the appt other than he has to have blood tests , im so worried i cant sleep, 

my mom had breast cancer my dads best friend(male) died from breast cancer, 

is it normal to have bloods ? ive had two checks for breast cancer the 2nd time they were concerned did a biobsy but all was ok never once asked for a blood test im just concerned hes not being honest , and i know he must be worried 

  • Hello sim1991, 

    A big welcome to our forum. It is unlikely your husband would have been dishonest to you. It is often the case that doctors will order blood tests and this can be for a number of reasons and you can read more about this on this page . They are a quick and easy way to find out a lot of things about our general health.

    I hope he won't have to wait long for his results and that everything turns out fine for him! 

    Best wishes,
