Hi
I’m Lisa 44 and a month ago I was feeling run down full of cold which took a while to shift. I noticed a lump under my right armpit went the doctors and they put it down to my glands and if it hadn’t gone within a month to come back. It didn’t go away so yesterday I saw a nurse who examined me and I’ve been referred to Breast clinic. Theres no Lump in breast just armpit but I’ve got strong veins in my breast and what has now appeared is a blocked nipple duct I’m not breast feeding and never had it before and it’s painful. I’ve had hot showers with warm compress to get rid of dead skin but still some skin there.
I’m worried sick that I’ve got lump under armpit and this blocked duct but not had appointment yet At breast clinic. Any advice?

Hello and welcome to the forum where you will get loads of help and support.
The good thing is that you are getting this checked out. Keep in mind that the breast clinics do not just deal with breast cancer, there are a lot of other benign breast conditions that they investigate, the least likely thing it will be is bc.
It is a worrying time but try as much as you can to distract yourself whilst you are waiting for your appointment. As you have been referred to a breast clinic you should get an appointment date within 14 days from them receiving the referral but do not be concerned should you get an appointment quickly, it will be that they have got a free slot not that they believe that there is something wrong and you needing to be soon quickly.
Sending you hugs
