Lump in armpit

Hello

I stumbled across this whilst googling things cancer related. Thought I'd say hi

I've got a pretty big lump in my left armpit so went to the GP. She seemed concerned and said the top of my left boob feels different to the rest of my boob. I've been booked in for a mammogram and to see the breast clinic next week. I'm trying not to get too worried, but if I'm honest I'm petrified. 

So, although I've not actually asked a question, I just needed to voice it out loud somewhere as I've not told anyone other than my husband.

    Hello I had a sharp electrical sort of pain from my left breast it woke me up and left a burning sensation for about 20 seconds. Two days later I started my period and I thought it was associated to my cycle. Since then my left arm pit has been feeling funny tingling sensation and prickly. Yesterday deep down in my left arm pit I noticed a small size lump that moves. I am absolutely petrified has anyone else had these symtoms. Everything I am reading points to BC I can't sleep or eat - if anyone else experienced this please share your experience many thanks
