    1 inch lump underarm, please help. Breast cancer worries

    I am super worried guys. Yesterday I felt something under my left underarm and while touching it felt like a lump.

    - You can't see the lump, you can only feel it
    - The outer area is rubbery, if you touch the rubbery area hard enough you can feel a lump inside the skin
    - It seems to be long around 1 inch
    - It doesn't seem too hard but definitely not soft either
    - It is moveable and can be pushed around
    - the lump is located on the upper area of my underarm
    - you can't tell the shape

    sometimes it feels like a lump, sometimes you can't feel it. My mom could not feel it at first, after a lot of touching she could feel the outer rubbery area.

    I checked my breasts and collarbones, no swelling or lumps there. I had my blood tested last year. No symptoms of fever.

    I read however that a lump underarm is often the first sign of breast cancer. I am 24 with no history of breast cancer in family.

    But I am worried anyway because I see people getting cancers randomly without any family history at any age.

    I found it just yesterday. I dunno if I should wait and see.

    Sounds more like a swollen node, especially if it moves around easily. I have a couple in my neck that feel and behave the same way.
