Does Lump Under Arm Require Medical Attention With Breast Cancer History?
I'm 49 years old, 5'2". I am a breast cancer survior in the right breast, thru a lumpecotmy. I now have a lump under my right arm. After a mammogram (which could not reach the spot) and a sonogram. The radiologist says it's a swollen liagment. Should I call my surgeon or just go with this answer?

if the lump is under your armpit, then it goes more in favour of metastatic deposit, considering you are a known case of ca breast.
it's important to look for any other lumps.
since the radiologist says it's a swelling from tendons, u don't have to worry much, but to be sure get your surgeon to have a look at it and probably get an FNAC to rule out malignancy.
