Lump in axilla

Hi UnicornRider 

Yes, I had similar. I found a lump in my right armpit and was referred to the breast clinic. This was biopsied and turned out to be something benign called PASH. There are lots of reasons there can be lumps and bumps which aren’t always bad. When I was examined, however, cancer was found in my left breast which has now been removed/treated. I wouldn’t have had a clue about it if it wasn’t for this lump. It’s good you are being checked. x

Hi thanks for your reply I appreciate it

I had to go back to the gp today as the lump is still there ️ so she's referred me to the breast clinic 2ww. 

These were her notes:

• Note - History: F2F ; seen with partner ; ; seen last week re lump in R axilla - noticed around 8 days ; not painful ; had some fluclox - no improvement ; no periods for while, no hormonal contraception ; no breast lumps ; aunt had breast cancer late 40s ; ; chaperone declined ; pea sized lump palpabl in axilla - deep, no overlying skin change ; no other breast lumps, axillary lumps palpable ; ; P/ 2ww breast
• Letter - A 2ww Referral Letter to Unknown

Hi UnicornRider 

I know it’s worrying going to the breast clinic, but it is good you have been referred and are being checked. Hopefully you will get your appointments and results soon. x
