A member asked:
What would cause a tiny lymph node in arm pit to swell? it happened to me and went away within 2 weeks? what is the likelihood of breast cancer?

If it was a lymph node that was enlarged and then subsided, it was likely in reaction to an infection in the area. Your symptoms alone are not an indication of breast cancer. Wish you good health!

If it were a breast cancer node it would not have gone away. Keep your routine breast exam with your MD
