Hey...I don't know if anyone is even going
to read this or not. I went to the Dr two
weeks ago because I've had some problems
with losing my balance lately. On the
same day that I had my dr's appt, I
noticed a small pea-sized lump under my
left armpit. It was extremely painful to
touch. Since I was at the dr's already, I
did tell her about it, but par for the
course, I was nervous and I couldn't even
find it anymore when I went, but she told
me that it could be a small cyst. I'm
like, alright...so it actually went away
after about 4 days, but now, a week and a
half later, I have found another small,
painful pea-sized lump but in a totally
different spot under the same armpit. I'm
just kind of freaked out. I realize at my
age that I probably don't have breast
cancer. But I've always had this thing
where one of my boobs is bigger than the
other. I know that there is always some
sort of variation, but mine is major--like
two cup sizes and the larger one is the
left one. I know I'm kinda rambling, but
I'm really freaked out...don't know if
anyone has any advice or not??

You're doctor is right. If it was a cancer
you would probably found bigger, hard,
non-tender lumps under your armpit. I'll
suggest you to continue tracking lumps and
every time to inform your doctor about
every change of your breast. Don't forget
to do your monthly self check ups.
