I've had pain behind my nipple and under my arm for a while. Recently found a lump near the site of nipple pain.
I had ultrasound, mammogram and biopsy on the lump. I mentioned the under arm pain during the ultrasound and they spent a long time looking there.
When I saw the consultant afterwards she was reading the report and noted 'xxx thickening of lymph nodes'. I didn’t really hear her. Then her demeanour changed and seemed much less positive.
She said if the results came back as cancerous or pre cancerous they'd need to biopsy the lymph nodes straight away.
But what if the biopsy is clear? Is the lymph node issue still serious? What does it all mean?
