Lump in armpit

Hi, I hope it's okay for me to post here, I'm 27, last week I found a very small lump in my armpit area, when I found it I brushed it off because a couple of days later I didn't think it was there anymore and I couldn't feel it, anyway I noticed two days ago that it was still there, but today It seems smaller than the last two days, I've now had it around two weeks, so I've made a doctors appointment but now I'm worried they either won't be able to find it or I'll get brushed off because of how small it is. 
has anyone else experienced lumps that seem bigger or smaller on a day to day basis? 

Im quite worried about it because I do have cancer in my family but I'm just trying to take it one step at a time. 

  • Hi Rkettle94,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. You've done the right thing by making an appointment with your GP. You can prepare for the appointment by making a note of important information such as when you first noticed it, and any changes since. That way even if the doctor can't see anything, you'll be able to explain what's been happening and get some advice.

    I hope that it's not long to wait for the appointment and that you can get some reassurance.

    Wishing you all the best,
