Hello
Nice to meet you all! I'm 34 and 20 week pregnant . I've had a lump in the armpit for the past 5 weeks which has steadily grown. GP unconcerned at telephone consult and confident it was just pregnancy related tissue etc (I had that in a previous pregnancy) but her tone changed massively after examination. She found 1/2 more lumps too (though not as big). She feels sure it's lymphnodes from its firm /round feel . She admitted she was concerned. So full panic in place .... . no signs of infection and lump has steadily grown (but still only sort of butter bean size.
my mum had breast cancer at 40 though hers presented as a breast lump.
If it is indeed my lymphnodes would it have to be a breast lump I can't feel to be breast cancer? Sorry stupid question.
I have no other lymphnodes up around my body that I'm aware of.
I think I'll go privately for the one step breast clinic so I can be seen this Wednesday ( a week earlier) .
I cope better with facts. Is this a real risk ? Wouldn't I have felt a breast lump (though I do have implants and large breast consequently) .
I guess I can expect an ultrasound and maybe even a biopsy?
thank you
