Armpit lump and sore arm

Hi 

I am desperate for some reassurance from someone, I am 13 weeks pregnant and sick with anxiety. I had a dull ache under my right armpit about 2 weeks ago. When I had a feel I found a small hard lump which is tender to touch. 

I went to the doctors twice and the female doctor felt my boobs and said they were lumpy but could be pregnancy related. She also had a feel of my lump in the armpit and is now red flagging me for the breast clinic. I am worried sick! I don't know how I'm going to get through the next few weeks waiting for my appointment, I cry every day and am barely eating which I knoe is really not good for my baby. 

Has anybody had any similar experiences that got a positive outcome? 

  • For anyone that comes across this in the future, I just wanted to share my outcome. Went to the breast clinic today and got an ultrasound scan. It was just axillary breast tissue that increased in size due to my pregnancy. A node was also felt but the ultrasound confirmed it was just a normal looking node and nothing to worry about. 

    I know how worrying it can be to find a lump, I personally had myself worried sick for 2 weeks! But hopefully someone can find comfort in my outcome that not all lumps are sinister and try to keep in mind that most people that go to the clinic are not diagnosed with cancer. 

  • Thank you, this posy has given me some reassurance. Hopefully i find out the same news soon xx
