Hi all, 

I took the plunge to finally visit my GP today after 2 months of right breast pain. I could have sworn I felt a lump, but wasn't sure if I was just worrying myself, so figured I'd best see someone. 2 months of pain, and around 3 weeks of armpit swelling, and around 2 weeks of significant breast swelling (to the point where its awkward to have my arm against my body as it hits my swollen breast on the outside).

Anyway, GP gave me a breast exam (I had one a year ago and all was well, no lumpy bumpy stuff), and the GP said "oh, I've found it here"... that wasn't the lump I'd found though. She then found the one I had felt, and she found another in my breast which I didn't know were there. She also found a lump in my armpit, and commented on a large amount of swelling. I was hoping it would be an infection, have some antibiotics and all would be forgotten. I've been referred to the breast clinic, but I have no idea how long I'll be waiting. I was so shocked to learn of another 3 lumps that I didn't ask many questions at the time, unfortunately. All I remember is she said one was movable, but didn't say the others were. She did comment on the strange shape of the one I could feel though.

Around the same time as the breast pain, I started to get night sweats (soaked, never experienced anything like it before) and nausea, which is why I thought perhaps an infection, but she ruled infection out. 

Obviously, I'm freaked out. I'm 29, no personal history of breast issues, my mum had 3 benign lumps removed over the last 15 years, but she never talks much about it so I'm not sure what exactly they were. 

I know it's daft because all of our bodies are different, but I was wondering if anyone had similar (odd shape lumps, lump in armpit, affected breast nipple sensitivity and slught pain/uncomfortableness and swelling in the tissue of the armpit.. including the annoying bit that always hangs out of the bra!), and what your outcome was, or what stage you're at of investigation? I suppose I just want to know I'm not alone, although I know I'm not! :happy:
