Hi all,
I felt a lump in my breast a couple of weeks ago, right near the armpit, freaking out that it is a lymph node, and that I have got the big C, and its spread. I was obsessively checking it about 20 times a day, in the end I thought I need to get it checked.
So saw a breast consultant on Thursday, who said he could feel something 'bobbly', so I had an ultrasound there and then.
The outcome from the scan was inflamed breast tissue, they weren't sure what from, but don't seem to think it is sinister and to come back in 6 weeks for another scan.
Six weeks, I am going out of my mind, not able to function properly.
I am thinking that the inflammation may settle, and when I go back in 6 weeks, the scan will show something horrible.
Also what could have caused inflamed breast tissue, surely prodding it wouldnt have caused that.
PLEASE PLEASE has anybody got any idea what it could be or had something similar happen. Is it normal to be able to feel lymph nodes in armpit.
I am petrified.
Thanks
