    I had 30 nodes removed and have a lot of scar tissue under the arm but anytime I am concerned about anything I ask my doctors and they have been fast and very nice every time I think just to ease my mind !!!

    Call you Dr. No one here is medical personnel that are actually seeing you so on one can tell you what is going on.

    I had 18 nodes removed 9 cancerous. Felt a lump v similar to the one you describe but not in my armpit. It was near my sternum where I had had surgery too. Drs responded v quickly, immediately on examination he said he was pretty sure it was fat necrosis but they did an ultrasound to double check and it was. Fat necrosis can feel v similar to a cancerous lump & can suddenly form. Good luck.
