Lump In Arm. Should I Be Concerned About Breast Cancer ?

I just found a lump under my arm about halfway between my armpit & elbow. I ha a norplant about 18 years ago. Should I be concerned about breast cancer? Could it be related to the nor plan ?

Hello.
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum.
A lump halfway between armpit and elbow is unlikely to be a lymph node. So it is not likely to do anything with breast. This is more likely to be due to torn muscle, etc. Examination by orthopaedician will help.
