Lumps in breast and armpit need immediate attention. If there is lump in breast and also armpit at the same time which are hard and fixed, chances of malignancy are higher.
Please don't be apprehensive as breast cancer has high cure rates. latest medicines have minimal adverse effects with good outcomes.
