Breast lump

Last reply: 18 May 2021 17:16

Hi,

I've been referred to a breast clinic after finding a couple of lumps. The GP think they are 2 different types of cysts. The whole area is now quite painful with the pain going up into my arm pit. Has anyone experienced this before?

Don't know when I'll have appointment due to the cyber attack

Thanks
F

Hi Fifil

Sorry to hear that you are in pain. I also had some pain under my left arm pit before I was diagnosed. I mentioned it to my Breast surgeon when I had my first appointment with him and while he couldn't feel anything there he ordered a ultrasound of my underarm as well as my Breast. Unfortunately it turned out that I had a tumour under my left armpit but it was very small which is why he couldn't feel it and my chemo treatment got rid of it.

I would mention it at the mammogram that you will have once the cyber attack is sorted out. Hopefully you won't have to wait too long to be seen. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Best wishes
Jenni

Thanks Jenni

I'll tell them whenever I get my appointment. I'm much more worried since the pain started. Fingers crossed
