Today I am feeling scared about the ultrasound lump results. I swear the lump is bigger and wider and hard now. I hope that the results come in today sooner rather than later I just want to know what is going on and I can’t stand this feeling.

Nervous today. The lump seems to be bigger and harder. Hopefully getting results today. I want this waiting to be over and the results to be benign

The lymph nodes in my arm pits will swell up from certain brands of deodorant! I doubt it's anything serious at all. I have one in my neck that's been enlarged since I was 4, I'm 31 now.

Sorry have not gotten back sooner about results re: this lump under arm. Finally ultrasound results came in last week and apparently though there is a lump, there is nothing that looks unusual or malignant about it. Given orders to take ibuprofen for four days and put on 15-minute cold compresses 3x a day. Didn’t do the latter (bad lack of self-discipline/self-caring sometimes), still planning to. Lump still there and making me nervous, was told at walk in clinic today, when I was in for bug bites, that if lump is still there, to have it checked out again. Knowing me it’ll be less than the 6 months recommended, I’m sure. Still have to talk to my doc on phone about results tomorrow (we only texted last week) so that’ll be good.
As usual, I’ll have a lot of issues to bring up w him. Ha ha :(

Hi, Anne. Great news. Thanks for updating us. Please do the compresses. I suggest to not use underarm deodorant to see if that makes a difference. My father had this same issue once and that is what the doctor told him to do.

Anne lymph nodes have an excruciatingly slow drainage system, they can even scar and stay enlarged.
