About 4 months ago I noticed a small lump in my armpit, didn’t really think much of it and just thought it was probably a spot. I forgot all about it and then noticed it was there again a couple of weeks later, it seemed too small to worry about. Fast forward a few more weeks and I realised that when i kind of pinch it it actually feels like a hard small ball, I’d say maybe the size of a petis poi.
So off I went to the gp thinking she would tell me it was nothing but she felt the lump and seemed a bit concerned, she wasnt sure if it was my lymph node, bloods were taken but showed no infection present and I’ve not been unwell.
I’m having an ultrasound on the lump next Thursday. I honestly can’t stop worrying and thinking about it, feeling the lump constantly, I’m 30 years old with two young children and an incredibly anxious person. I have a bit of a dull ache occasionally but that could be where I’m constantly feeling it! Can anyone tell me what will probably happen at my appointment?
Hi TamVil I’m also waiting for my scan next Thursday but I have been twice before to the breast clinic. You will be seen by a fee who ask you question and check you over and the they will take you for ultrasound. Depending on what the radiologist thinks they will either send you home or give you a needle biopsy. In my case the first 2 times although I can feel a lump nothing shoes up on ultrasound so I have never been given biopsy. Now I have anoher lump in the same breast and you can feel 4 of my lymph nodes. I have breast pain too so I’m thinking the worst. The wait is horrible and I honestly feel your pain. I also have little ones and the thought of them growing up without me makes me cry just typing it! Please let me know how you get on and I’ll keep you in my prayers xx
Thank you for replying and for the info, the wait is honestly the worst, although I only have a week to wait it feels like an eternity! Yes that’s my worst fear, the kids growing up without their mum ? I hope your scan goes well and brings good news, please keep me updated as I will you xx
I will do bab and I’ll keep you on my thoughts. What I will say though is male sure they give you a biopsy as otherwise you won’t know one way or another. I didn’t realise this until I seen a locum Dr who asked me if they had done me one I said no because great tissue looked normal and apparently it can in younger women that’s why they should do a biopsy? I have crap a crap Dr ideally and never got to see the locum one again but I’m glad he took me serious and rebooked my referral xx
