Should I be concerned? Solid growing painless mass in armpit, been there 1 1/2 years. Only had an 2 ultrasounds that confirmed it's solid and growing but doc said not to worry and sent me home. The Ultrasound tech said it's soild and has tripled in size in 1 year.
It doesn't hurt but cancer runs in my family, but not breast cancer. The tech comfirmed that it isn't water filled so it's not just a cyst and it is getting deeper. Not sure if I should just trust the doctor and let it go, or insist on a biopy.
Thanks
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question.
No, the doctor hasn't told me anything except that he wants to see what it does over time and he doesn't think it's connected to my breast. I am 35 years old and I know I have a milk gland right by this because i nursed all 4 of my children and I had a lump under my arm only when my milk was full. My youngest is 6 and that lump is long gone. This one is hard and the width of a marble but is getting deeper.
I think your right.......It has tripled in size and I don't see why I should wait. I think I am going to find another doctor and tell him I need answers.
I just wish I knew why he is so sure it's not cancer. He wouldn't give me any reason and just told me not to worry. I posted hear to see if it's anyone else would think I should get a biopsy before I demand one. Thanks
