Awaiting ultrasound appointment

Hi, I found a lump in my armpit 5-6 weeks ago, I seen my GP last week and they referred me for bloods, I had these taken on Wednesday last week and received the results today which is a slight relief however I have been referred for an ultrasound and I'm not sure how long it takes for the appointment to come through from the hospital? Can I call the radiotherapy dept in the hospital and ask or will they just fob me off? 
 

I am anxious about this lump and I feel it may be getting larger. Has anyone else had a lump under their arm the same? It was not sore to begin with but I do feel a dull ache from it now which travels down my arm. Am I being extremely paranoid? 
 

Thanks in advance for any replies!

  • Hi, I have had a lump in my left armpit for many months now. Maybe since before August? I have had it checked and doctors are not concerned. It was also scanned via an ultrasound and I was told it was clear. It hasn't gone away. Sometimes it can be very sensitive when putting on things like deodorant. I think mine may be when I get run down as it's definitely not a pulled muscle or anything like that. I hope you get a scan soon as it definitely helps ease the worry once you have more information x
