Lymph node question!

Recommended Posts

Hi All!

as u know i have been worrying about breastcancer so i was feeling around my axilla for nodes. I dont really feel anything special but at one point it felt as if something ‘jumped’ from underneath my fingers. Havent been able to retrace it.

 

what worries me is that i read on the internet that a pathological node can be felt to ‘pop’ while palpating downwards. I dont know exactly how to interpret ‘pop’, but it sounds like what i felt. Could this be a cancerous node that i felt?
 

 Anyone ANY experience with nodes ‘popping’ or jumping from under your fingers? 
 

greatly appreciated!

 

thnx

That seems a bit out there to think that extreme, to be honest.

Is it though? I had never heard about it before but if it is through that its the malignant nodes that shoot away under your fingers then i should probably have it looked at. On the other hand if its common for lumps bumps and nodes to shoot away from your fingers, it is 100% normal what i felt. Not to strange to ask to verify right?

You can verify, but it's a big longshot.
