Dear XXXXXXX
Thank you for posting your query.
A lump in axilla is common finding and normally is not cancerous.
You have been examined by a doctor who suggested the same.
Please get an ultrasound of breast and axilla done to be very sure.
A normal cyst can remain in place for several years without causing discomfort.
You may safely plan a pregnancy if your cyst is normal and the breast ultrasound is normal too.
And I do not think the lump is causing any delay.
Continue taking folic acid for fetal well being.
Hope I have answered your query. Do write back to me if you have further queries.
Regards.
