Hi, I ve had a lump, pea size in my armpit for over 3 months now. Sometimes I do get aching in both armpits.I am in my mid 60s, 5 4, 125 pounds. Mammogram was normal, ultrasound results said it was a varicose vein type lesion and there was a lymph node as well. Recommended waiting 3 months and repeating ultrasound. Do you think this should be investigated further now, or, is the 3 month period safe to wait?Thanks,
HI, Dear,Good Morning From INDIA. I studied your query with all its details and understood your health concerns. Causes of lump in armpit--Causes in your case are-i-In reference to mammogram findings and your age and association of the vascularity with lymph node, I would advise USG-guided FNAC biopsyii-FDG Pet Scan would fix the possibility of Breast Cancer as worried by you.iii-Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging -at low cost would also give the lead to the cancer of breast. So consult ER surgeon who would help you accordingly to find out its cause. So consult your doctor and wish you fast recovery. Hope this will help you to recover your urgency. Wishing your fast recovery. Wellcome for any further query in this regard. IF you get relief-write a good review and recommend my Chat Doctor clinic to your foes and friends. Have a good Day.
