Hi there, my partner has had a lump under her arm - armpit area for about a year now. Today she finally went to the doctor. She has taken blood tests. We are both quite concerned in case it turns out to be cancerous. I’m just looking for a bit of advice at this early stage. What would the blod tests show? The doctor just asked her what she thought it was - she said swollen lymph nodes - the whole area is painful and she has stopped using anti-pespirant to try to ease the pain. Any advice appreciated. Results on Friday.
