Hard lump under armpit that comes and goes- worried

Hi, so I've had this hard lump under my armpit that has come and gone for quite a few years of my life, I suppose I should have got it checked out before but never have. I don't have any lumps anywhere else but lately I've had extreme health anxiety and am becoming very worried. The lump is back now, it's very small, hard and can move around. But it seems to disappear every now and then for quite some time and then come back??? Unless I'm just not feeling it at certain times? I'd really like some help or advice if anyone has had similar experiences or is knowledgable on this topic x

  • Hello 0POLYBIU50,

    Thank you for posting. I see from your post that you are worried about some symptoms you have. The best thing to do is to go and see your doctor about these problems. When you are worried that you may have cancer, it can be tempting to look for answers online, but this can end up increasing anxiety rather than making you feel better. And the only person that can get to the bottom of it is your doctor. If you feel the worries are overwhelming you, mindfulness can help you focus away from them. Anxiety UK has some good resources also. 

    I hope this is helpful,
