Anon - Thanks for your question and welcome to EmpowHER. You mentioned that your breast has grown, and you have pain under the arm pit, which could be due to an enlarged lymph node. There could many causes for this. I don't want to alarm you, but one condition you may want to consider is Inflammatory Breast Cancer or IBC which is not found by mammogram or ultrasound. Please review the links I'm going to provide to see if you have IBC symptoms. If not, then you are at least aware of this type of breast cancer for the future. In any case, as long as you continue to have pain, and especially if it worsens, you should seek professional medical advice to determine the cause. Please keep in touch and let me know if we can assist you further.
Take care,
Pat
