I seem to have developed a large swelling/lump in my armpit; is this the sort of thing you take to your GP rather than CNS even though it might be cancer related (or may not be)? My CNS is not very approachable so don’t want to make her fed up
Hi Tangle123
I would recommend going initially to your CNS as you are have recently had the surgery. I am sorry that she is not more approachable but you must not worry about making her fed up- its her job to support you. An alternative is if there is an email address for the consultant who did the surgery - on your discharge paperwork.
You can of cause contact your GP, although mine did tend to refer me back to the hospital.
Main thing is, get it checked out.
If you are feeling unwell with it or if it is causing you pain then perhaps consider calling NHS111 for advice.

Bless you, I hope you can be seen very soon and get some reassurance. Don't forget the Support Line is there is you need to chat.
