Petrified- Breast appointment today for large armpit lump

[Slas1992]

I’m so scared. I’m 28 have a LO and Im out of my mind with worry. I have had to go privately as NHS told me it’s a 5 month wait. The lump is rock hard doesn’t move or hurt and it’s in a weird location. I feel sick to my stomach. I can’t even concentrate today I feel so sick and upset and want to cry every time I look at my child.

The breast on that side is also slightly indented. I have pics attached of normal armpit and the one with the lump. It’s literally rock solid and has no give to it whatsoever.

my appointment isn’t until this afternoon. My nurse at GP surgery saw it as non urgent and that’s why I have had to pay privately as she said non urgent is 5 months wait. I’m so stressed out. Breast cancer runs in my family too.

It’s been there for nearly 6 weeks (when I first noticed it)

Good luck, most lumps are nothing serious I hope that is the case for you. My indent was a collapsed cyst and the lumps they found in my armpit were innocent. I hope you get reassurance today.

I have a cyst in my armpit which has been there for about 7 years. Several docs have poked and prodded it and declared it to be harmless.

hope you get professional reassurance but harmless lumps in armpits are very common. If it is worrying I am sure you will be referred very quickly

Thank you both I really hope so but just feel beside myself. I can’t find anything online with people with lumps this big and non moveable. The consultant I see today will either do an ultrasound mammogram or both and if needed, a biopsy. I feel sick I just want to fast forward time and be there and get it over with.

How did it go OP?

How did you get on?
