          Thanks Mark.
          I had it removed which was on my back left shoulder, now anxiety has caused me to spend days poking my armpit lymph nodes which inturn has caused pain and swelling. I go from thinking i can feel a node to not feeling one. If it was swollen my stitches could be the cause as its so close. Eitherway i work as a veterinary nurse and i see so many people panic who dont need to so i really need to take my own advice.
