Found Lump in Armpit of Breast

After taking a shower I'd exam myself in the mirror being depressed with my weight gain when I'd noticed a lump in the armpit of my breast. I found myself saying 'hum what's that?' It felt like a round hump sometimes annoying and other times hurtful. It's a soft round lump looking very ugly as it looks like a third breast hanging. It hurts upon pressing down, shaving my armpit, putting deodorant, and showering in that area. DH notice it after we were intimate a few times but I don't like to be exam as I know I have flaws so I brushed him off. Both mothers don't know about it. My mother is known to go blabbing endlessly making the problem public knowledge to the whole world as then the whole world can give me a sympathy party. My mother’s maternal family houses a history of cancer as well as Nick’s maternal family. I don’t know what it is but will get it checked out.

Now that I’ve notice it now I’m conscious of it. I'm worried and having trouble sleeping as this year starting out wasn't that great with a job loss and now this. I'm only 29 pushing 30 which I thought that breast cancer for women has a greater risk of ages 40+. Anxiety won't leave my stomach.

you need to go to a doctor to get that checked out.
if it turns out to be nothing then your anxiety will be gone, but if it's serious, you can get it taken care of!
good luck

o dear Definitely go to your doctor asap...hope it is nothing serious but if it is, god forbid, then early detection is key.........

You should definately get it checked out. This way you know if it is something you need to deal with. Early detection is key Let us know what happens

Please get yourself to a doctor as soon as possible!!!! Hopefully it is nothing, but you really need to know for sure. This is not something that you should bury your head in the sand about. Please take care of yourself

please go to the doctor to clear your head of any worries and also as someone said early detection is the key

Defintely go to the doctor!!!

Age really doesn't make much of a difference these days. I was 22 when I had a lump removed...it was fine but I am glad I had it taken care of. If anything else it will ease your mind.

Get to a doctor and have them check it out. It can be over active glands, it can be nothing. Put your mind at rest.

First, try not to panic. It could be a cyst, or a blocked sweat gland. Definitely go to your doctor and have it checked. Don't put it off, because you will only make yourself crazy thinking about it. I'm sure it's nothing major, but I understand how scared you must be!

exactly .. do not panic (I know easier said than done) but really a good percentage of the time it will turn out to be nothing. You want to ease your mind and you know you will not do so until you have it looked into by a physician.

i know it is scary but even if by some slim chance it IS something serious, you can be treated with great sucesss.

we're all here for you, remember that!!

Don't panic. Most likely it is nothing to cause alarm. However, please go to the doctor and have a professional look at it. Take care

Go to the doctor right away.

But sometimes it can be just a cyst that comes and goes with your period
