Hi,
My armpit was tender while applying my deodorant for just over a week, but I never though to actually take a look until last Saturday, the skin was a bit red so I felt it and found a lump. Went to my GP on the Monday, by then the lump was no longer tender and skin no longer red, and she referred me to the breast clinic at the hospital where I work.
The lump was described by the GP as 3cm, fixed and irregular. But when I called to see how long I'd be waiting I was told I was triaged to "routine" and I would get an appointment in 12-15 weeks. That seems like a long time to me! I have health insurance so could try to go privately but just not sure what to do. Wondering if anyone has ever had similar symptoms or a similar experience with being changed to routine.
Thank you.
