Found lump in left arm pit, same side I had lumpectomy done on April 27th, terrified.

I found a lump deep in my arm pit Saturday and called the doctor yesterday, ultrasound today at 2:00pm, I have been up tossing and turning since 3 a.m. I am so scared, I googled and it sounds like cancer, how? Everything was cancer free, I am 5 weeks post radiation.

I need you ladies, I need your love and prayers. I'm soo scared.

How can this happen so soon? Struggling really hard not to cry. I don't want to go through surgery again, and I know all this worrying and it could be nothing.

I'll be watching for your update! I, too, found a lump directly behind my axillary scar, but it turned out to be a seroma. As my provider said, 'nature abhors a vacuum', thus the seroma developed. Prayers for a good report.

Thank you, and you are correct,, it was seroma. But my brain freaked out if course and google.

I have a big knot under my surgical arm also. I had it checked and they did an ultrasound and it's just a pocket of fluid. In fact. it's about gone. Massage it a little every day and it will be fine. Also I had been doing some kind of heavy lifting cleaning out my storage building, and I thought that might have caused it, but it may have no relation. I don't think you need to be scared. Just have your doctor check it out! Prayers! You probably know by now, I'd like to know what they said.

I just saw this after I'd commented. I'm so glad it's nothing to worry about!
