I have a GP appointment first thing on Wednesday morning about this, but in the mean time I would like any advice/opinions from anyone on here with experience of this. I know only a doctor can tell me what's happening, I'd just like to hear experiences that's all, whether it was benign or otherwise.
On Friday night I found a tiny pea sized lump at the bottom of my left armpit. Obviously, the first thing that came into my head was 'is it cancer'. I know from online research over the weekend it could easily just be a swollen lymph gland or a benign cyst but until I hear from a doctor that it's nothing as you can imagine I am feeling rather unsettled about it. My aunt, who is my mum's sister, had breast cancer at 37 (I'm 36) so just can't relax at all until I see my doctor on Wednesday.
The lump is very small and I can't work out if it moves with the skin or not as it's hard to tell. it isn't sore at all, and is on the centre of the bottom of my arm pit. I have had the cold recently and been feeling run down so hopefully it is just down to infection.
I'd appreciate anyone's experiences?
