3 weeks ago i felt my left armpit sore and tender for 3 days only but now today on my first day of periods i am having the same feeling. is it cancer?

Need more info: It is hard to make a connection between your menstrual period and your armpit pain. My suggestion is to make an appointment with your family physician and see if you might have a skin infection in your armpit. This is not a common symptom of cancer especially at your age.
