Lymph node

I had pain in my breast in my breast since end of January, I got referred to the breast clung but because of my age they never scanned me (I'm 24.) I went back to the GP today after the pain continued, they've found a lymph node in my left side, is this something I should be worried about or not really? Of course the Dr said she'd be surprised if it is but because of my family history she could never rule it out. Anyone who's had the same problem and it turned out to be nothing? Fingers crossed it turns out to be nothing, any responses would be greatly appreciated

  • Hi Gove123,

    Lymph nodes can be raised for a number of reasons - it sounds as if the doctor isn't too concerned but I appreciate the uncertainty and the continuing pain must be a little unsettling. Hopefully they have referred you again and if so I hope this proves more useful - you can explain your previous experience and that you'd like to know what's going on and push for a scan if you need to.

    If at any point you'd like to talk things through with our nurses, you can reach them on 0808 800 4040 (Monday-Friday, 9-5).

    Wishing you all the best,
