Hi Everyone,
It has been 3 1/2 years from my first diagnosis , Grade 2 LCIS , WLE, SNB, Chemo, rads and now on tamoxifen. After all the treatments , I just couldn’t get to terms that the cancer may eventually come back so soon. I am just starting to get my life back. My hair has just started to come back the way it was before and now again??? I went for a routine check last Friday and the Dr has confimed that she felt a lump on my axcilla about 3cm. I felt it too months before but am convincing myself that it’s just a fatty tissue that will go away one day. The Dr said that it felt different from the ordinary lympnodes. It felt soft and big. She has requested for an ultrasound and when I looked at the request, her notes indicated new lump or lipoma??? I will have the test tom as it’s the earliest I could get - so during the past few days I was all the time sulking and couldn’t help but cry. I just wondered if any here has experienced about lump in axcilla that turned out to be a lipoma - benign cyst? I just wanted to get some hope that MAYBE just MAYBE I am just overly worried for nothing.

Hi Mini and Lucy,
Thanks for your reply. Got the good news today. The lump afterall is just a lipoma- a fatty lobule about 24mm in size. No solid or cystic lesions are seen. The best part is there is no suspicious features identified. It was such a relief and absolutely delighted. The doctor said it’s common and no treatment is needed. Really dreading the chemo - the thought of it just makes me cry.
Hope Mini everything goes well with your rads. Remember to puts loads of cream. Thinking of you and let me know how are you getting on.
Kisses,
Giget
