Hi, I am posting as it is difficult to talk to friends and family about this but I am worried and just wanted to speak with other people who will understand. I found a lump in my left armpit, it’s a bit larger than a pea but only slightly, it does feel hard but does not hurt.
I am also in my early 50’s and post menopause as I had a full hysterectomy last year.
I went to see my GP who said it is a swollen lymp gland and if I still have it in two weeks time she will refer me to the breast clinic, as swollen Lymp glands can also be a sign of infection. Well it’s been 10 days since I saw my GP and the lump is still the same. My left breast has began to ache as well but probably because I keep poking it checking for lumps.
Does anyone else have a lump in the armpit? what was the outcome? Also if it does not go away what should I expect to happen next? Many thanks
