I started chemo 18 days ago and today I have a small lump in my armpit. I think it’s like a boil/ingrown hair as it’s sore to touch but I’m worried it’s something else connected to my BC it’s on the opposite side of where my tumour is. I just can’t stop thinking it’s something else serious. Does anyone have any advice?
Hello Shinelikeastar,
Ouch that sounds sore! I would ring your BC nurse if you are unsure and need reassurance, or if you are due to see your chemo mention it then. We all blow things up in our minds while we are on this journey so you are being like us all. I hope you get it sorted.
hugs Alison
