Lump in armpit

I found a lump in my breast in August 2012 and had chemo & radio and am now on tamoxifen. Today however I have found a lump in my armpit (same side as cancer). Lymph nodes were taken at the time and said to be clear. Inside scared, could it have come back. Any advice would be gratefully received xx

Hi Julie

I am only going to say what you probably already know

Contact GP or BCN asap - you know it makes sense

 

I hope it is just set back and not too serious but this really needs medics looking at it - It will give you peace of mind whichever way

 

Good luck

How did it go? Xx

Turned out to be a reactive lymph node. I’ve had 4 chest infections in the last 7 weeks and my lymph node got inflamed. But I have to keep an eye on it in case it gets bigger. Thanks for your concern & merry Christmas xx
