Armpit Lump and Thickening

Public Archive

Hi all,

I went to my GP 2 weeks ago after I had found a hard lump at the bottom of my armpit on the side of my breast. I had a abcess under the same arm a few months ago. I have no pain. The doctor couldn’t feel the lump but did say I had some thickening. She examined my breast’s but didn’t mention any lumps there and I haven’t felt any. I go to the One Stop Breast Clinic on Wednesday. Has anyone else had a similar situation.

Thanks

Hi isern

Welcome to the Breast Cancer Care discussion forums. I’m sure the users of this site will be along to support you soon.

In the meantime you may find it useful to read the BCC booklet ‘referral to a breast clinic’ it contains information on the sorts of tests you will have at the clinic. To read this on line or order a copy just follow the link below:-

I hope this is helpful.

Best wishes Sam, BCC Facilitator

Thanks Sam.

I went to the clinic today had mammmogram and ultrasound. All seems ok. Just a swollen lymph node.

Thanks for your reply.
