Hi - about 4 months ago i noticed swelling under my right armpit. I went to see my doctor and had mammogram and ultra sound of the area. They found an extremely small lump from the ultra sound. When I press down on the lump it stings (kind of like a bee sting). It gets a little more irritated during my period but outside of that it doesn't bother me. I am 35 years old and there is no history of breast cancer in my family. The doctor told me to come back in 6 months for another ultra sound just to make sure it hasn't grown. The doctor does not believe it is breast cancer...what do you think it can be?
1.The history suggest that there is a small lump with in the breast ( as mentioned in history) and a swelling in the armpit area / axillary region. 2.This features suggest a benign lesion on the breast and adjacent lymph nodal enlargement in axillary region. 3.Doctor call you after 6 months because - the lesion what he noted during the scan is not coming under criteria of cancer / malignancy. 4.In this condition any doctor according to the studies does the same way. 5.If there is any difference in lesion - growth - then an FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology to evaluate the cells. 6.Further treatment will depend on the findings. Good luck.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health. Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
