Lump in armpit

[Macgirl59]

TBH cysts can present very differently. I have several cysts in both breasts and there are no two alike. You can't know what it is until it's properly investigated at a breast clinic. I am also waiting to have a newly discovered lump investigated and again it's vastly different to the other lumps I've found. Good luck and I hope you have a happy outcome x

I'm worried sick had a painless lump for 3 weeks now in my armpit went to the doctors iv got an appointment next Wednesday at the hospital, the lump is rubbery and moves, iv got implants in and when the doctor felt my breasts she couldn't feel any lumps, I can't eat or sleep, every niggle I get in my body I convince myself it's breast cancer what's spread, I'm 42 yrs old, no history of breast cancer in the family, I know it's not a cyst as iv looked up the systems of that , please can anyone reassure me please
