I want to share my story in this forum because when I was going through everything and trying to find more information about this, it was very difficult for me and almost everyone said that it was cancer when a node swelled!
I am 29 years old and my story began in mid-July when I felt discomfort near my armpit and around the left shoulder and back area, I felt the urge to palpate that area when suddenly I felt a small lump! But I kept feeling all over the area and that was the only one I had, it moved easily and seemed a bit hard but not like a rock, I couldn’t tell if it had regular edges since it was difficult to feel because it moved so much so I kept the Calm down and I thought that maybe it was nothing important but as the days went by I kept feeling discomfort and started reading online which obviously scared me a lot! So I decided to make the appointment with the gynecologist, they gave it to me in 3 weeks which was an agony thinking and reading about all this so the day of the appointment I was trembling and praying to God that it would be nothing so When the doctor arrived, she asked me questions such as if I had a history of breast or ovarian cancer and those types of questions, to which I answered no, when I finished palpating the entire area and the entire breast, including the right one, she also told me that I did indeed have a lump there but that I didn’t notice others… she told me that it should be checked since she didn’t like the area where it was, I couldn’t take it anymore and I started to cry, I was so nervous, so she told me that I had to have an ultrasound which took another week… which I was in agony so about a week later I realized that they had transferred me to the breast center which scared me a lot 
but when the nurse came she checked me out and I didn’t even want to look the screen when She just told me that it was a swollen lymph node and that she would call the doctor to talk to me, the doctor explained what we already know… that the nodes become swollen for many reasons such as infections or even cancer, I tried to hold back the tears, so He told me that the best thing was to do a biopsy, which I accepted… they gave me an appointment for the biopsy a week later, which also almost cried every day imagining the worst… the day of the biopsy arrived and I thought it was going to be more painful but it was fine… they told me they would call me with the results in one or two days… I went to my car crying and scared because anxiety did not allow me to be calm, that night I slept badly from thinking so much and the next day I received the call from the doctor I was in a store and I had to sit down because my heart was beating so hard that I felt like I was going to faint so she started talking and said the good news is that the biopsy was negative for cancer cells s I can’t explain the rest and relief I felt… I started crying with joy… so she told me that now I should go back to my private doctor so he can decide what to do and if there was probably an infection causing inflammation in that ganglion but I was already so calm to hear that there was no cancer that I felt like I was flying from happiness… I was without dates for two months and with uncertainty so putting an end to that made me feel so happy
I just want to tell you my story so that someone who is going through something similar knows that it is not always the worst! That something Benign can do too
