A few weeks ago I felt a lump in my armpit. I am terrified of doctors and hospitals so I have been watching it to see if it went down. It hasn’t it has got bigger and I am now beside myself with worry. I went to my doctors today and saw a nurse/practitioner . Later I got a call from the breast clinic at my local hospital with an appointment for the 26 July. I also have to go back to the doctors for blood tests, the same day, she mentioned the word lymphoma, which has made me even more terrified. Has anyone ever had a diagnosis of breast cancer , the only obvious sign being an enlarged armpit lymp node? I cannot find anything on the internet. To make matters worse tomorrow we go off on a dream holiday for a week. I will not enjoy it, I cannot sleep or eat all I think about is the lump and find myself constantly feeling if it is still there. I feel so bad for spoiling the holiday for my husband. Any advice please.
