Large Lump In Right Arm. Done U/S. Found Giant Lymph Node. Any Good Diagnosis?

I had a clear mammogram performed on October 17th. My upper right arm started to tingle a week later. Last week I felt a large lump, 2 to 3 inches long, inside my right arm pit. I had an ultra sound performed today and it appears I have a giant lymph node. I ll have a biopsy performed in a few days, but am fearing the worst. Can you provide any good diagnosis I could focus on for the time being?

Hello, welcome to HCM.
Firstly, you should understand, any infectious condition and neoplastic condition may present with this type of large lymph nodes.
So, from only this history, you cannot be diagnosed with any disease.
For a definite diagnosis, you have to wait, for the biopsy report.
