Hi,
Firstly thank you for reading.
I have had a little tenderness in my armpit for awhile but nothing major, I shaved my arms this morning and found a lump. Was a little concerned as my aunty has just conquered bc and had a lump in the same place as mine.
I booked myself an appointment to see gp, went down removed my shirt and bra and she spotted I have both nipples pierced, she felt the lump and said its down to them meaning my nipple bars and told me to remove them and sent me on my way.
I have had them done for well over a year with no problems before and I have no pain so I doubt very much it is due to them.
She didn't offer me anything like a mammogram or ultrasound, just to be on the safe side with my family history
Would you say I should go for a 2nd opinion, there is alot of cancer in my family, i'm 22, have two children and am very scared
Thanks in advance
