Hi all.

I had a lumpsectomy with lymph nodes removed 8th of March,have finished radiotherapy,now on tamoxifen for 10 yrs,I'm two mnths in taking them.

As any one else noticed a small lump under the armpit,is it normal,am a little scared but thinking its just tissue damage xx

  • I had a lumpectomy and a sentimental node removal in May, after approx 6 weeks I noticed a lump under my arm in my armpit. 
    I spoke with my breast care team and I was booked in for a scan an an appointment with my oncologist, The scan flagged up a seroma from where my node was removed, they tried to drain it but couldn’t, they said it would resolve itself and wasn’t infected.

    I would advise you to do the same to put your mind at rest as I was worried sick, 

    Hope this helps.
