Swollen lymph nodes/sweat glands

For the past 3 years I have had painful lumps come and go under my armpits. I have had them checked by the breast clinic and were told it was just fatty tissue and blocked glands. I then went back to the dr a second time as they were still appearing and then vanishing again and were painful. They changed my pill to try to reduce the amount of hormones I had, which improved it slightly but a year later I still have them. I also sweat excessively under my armpits so not sure whether it is linked to that? Was just wondering if anyone has had anything similar? Thanks 

  • Hi Amz_2,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. It's good to hear the doctor hasn't been too concerned about this each time you've seen them, but I can imagine the uncertainty is a bit difficult.

    I can only really suggest to revisit your doctor if you still have questions or if it's causing any issues at all.

    Another option is to talk things through with our nurses, who may be able to advise - although they won't be able to diagnose. You can reach them on 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

    Wishing you all the best,
