Good day,
Im a 19 year old female in good health, I have slight family history of breast cancer from my grandfathers side. I got a lump underneath my armpit and it hurts a lot and has gotten large. I can’t even touch it and than i read up on it and Ive noticed that when i squeeze my boob that there’s a clear liquid that comes out and Ive also noticed my nipples itching regularly, so i’m just a bit stressed what it could be.
Thank you.
Dear April2005
Thank you for contacting us here at Macmillan Cancer Support. My name is Rae and I am a Cancer Information Nurse Specialist.
It is normal to feel anxious and stressed about what symptoms can mean. We suggest that you contact your GP practice to make an appointment to discuss the symptoms. They will be able to examine you and send you for further tests if needed.
Most lumps are harmless, but it is important to have them checked, especially if they have been there for longer than two weeks.
We have included some information about cancer, and when you are worried.
Our nurses on the Support Line will be more than happy to chat about the above information if you wish to speak to them. It can also help to speak to friends and family when you are worried about a health issue.
Best wishes
Rae, Cancer Information Nurse Specialist
