Hi 

 

I'm 25 now I've had this lump for a year in my right armpit started small like a small marble I went to gp I was pregnant they said nothing to worry about we will re visit once give birth anyways its now double the size I would say with swelling if I put my arm down it pops out the side I went to two months ago they said I'd have a scan at the hosiputal nothing I chased it up , now the lump seems bigger more swelling between breast and arm pit my boob feels heavy and aches. They now referred me to the breast clinic I'm so worried and scared I have a one year old daughter

    Hi,

    I recently found a breast lump and was referred to the breast clinic. I really struggled during the wait for my appointment but I had an examination and scan on the day and was told it was just dense breast tissue and I also have a couple of breast cysts, nothing to worry about. They told me lots of young woman attend the clinic with lumps and most of them are benign lumps. Hopefully that gives you some peace of mind that it is probably nothing but best to get it checked anyway :) Let us know once you've been to the clinic.
