A month ago I awoke to a large painless swelling in one of my armpits. After a week of taking antibiotics I went back to see my doctor who said the swelling had thickened and she has referred me to breast clinic, my appointment is in 3 weeks time. occasionally I get a nipping sensation in my armpit, the swelling goes hard then releases and it seems to thicken even more. Has anyone else had this?
Hi there helsangels
Whilst you’re waiting for others to respond, I just thought you might find reading our factsheet covering information about your clinic appointment helpful, just so you know what to expect from your appointment.
Here’s the link to the page where it can be downloaded:

Hope you find this useful.
Kind regards.
