Several lumps, including armpit

Nmlt

This is my first post, but I'm not new here. I've been reading this forum what seems like 24 hours a day the last few days. I haven't come across a post exactly like mine, so thought I would post my own question/problem.

I first noticed a lump in my armpit while shaving. Over the last several months it has grown so large that it's noticible even when I'm not feeling for it. As if it's gotten large enough it's noticible just being there when my arm is down or if I carry something heavy.

This lump caused me to do a thorough exam, I hadn't done so previously because I have such dense breasts and I'm 34. I've since found a couple of long, thin lumps underneath my breast around the underwire area. A lump on my chest, between my breast and collar bone, as well as a lump on the right, outside of my breast. All of these lumps are on the same side.

I went to a GP and she recommended an ultrasound and mamogram that will happen on Tuesday 1/30. The waiting is torture. I've since noticed, during the waiting I have very prominent veins going from my shoulder down to the chest lump, on that side. On the left side of my chest no veins are visible whatsoever.

Has anyone had the same or close experience? Of so, what was your experience and outcome?

The waiting is torture, indeed! And we are sorry you are having these issues. Sounds like you have some tests lined up that can help bring clarity. We are here for you. Take care of yourself and try to find things to distract!

Thank you, I'm trying to. It's very hard to stay focused on anything else.
