    Welcome to the forum, I'm Daisy53 one of the Community Champions on this forum.  I'm sorry to hear that you may have breast cancer.  When I went to the breast clinic over five years ago because I found a lump in my left breast they discovered a lump under my arm during the ultrasound.  That also turned out to be cancerous.  However most lumps turn out to be benign but if it is cancer it should be very treatable.

    Wishing you the best of luck with your clinic appointment when you have it.

    Best wishes
