Small hard lump in armpit
Hi ladies, hope you're doing well. I saw my oncologist yesterday for usual follow up - I saw clinical nurse. Diagnosed early stage breast cancer in Oct 2024, had lumpectomy and radiation. Everything was going great in discussion - she checked my breasts, all good. Checked my underarm and she felt a grapeseed size lump in my armpit. I've only just got most sensation in armpit after over a year after lumpectomy/radiation. Tumour margins were clear, sentinel lymph nodes all clear. It's a bit sore in underarm area which is good because it's been numb and nerve tingly for so long! Clinical nurse wanted to bring forward my yearly mammogram to 2 weeks time instead of next month. I got a little bit nervous but she said it's most likely nothing. Oncologist came in briefly to reassure me and she also said not to worry it's just a precaution because I've had BC. My gut feeling is to stretch the armpit gently. I also burnt myself near my elbow a couple of days ago. Anyone else had a small hard 'nodule' a year after lumpectomy?
