So today we put the Xmas decorations up, and as it always does, the idea of Xmas has set my anxiety off and I’m spiralling!
My anxiety has fixated back onto an underarm lump that I noticed 4 months ago.
It’s in my right armpit, and kinda feels like a small (3cm) pencil with a layer of something (fat/muscle?) wrapped around it. It’s painless and hasn’t changed in the 4 months since I found it. Not mobile either.
I asked my GP about it a few months ago, and she said it was probably the edge of a muscle, and definitely isn’t a lymph node so she isn’t worried.
But I am!
I’m wondering whether to get a second opinion? I don’t have anything similar on the other side. And if it’s “the edge of a muscle” why havnt I noticed it before?! It’s quite close to the surface so I’m sure I would have noticed it in my 35 years of life! And how can they be sure it’s not a lymph node?
If anyone has been through anything similar, I’d love to hear!
