Hi,
I too have lumps, but not under arm...perhaps since surgery not as bad....do have them on back and shoulder area and Massage therapist works them out...she is a Goddess.......I love her with all my heart if not for her I would be in a very dirty creek with no paddle if you catch my drift......ha ha too many cliches....lol......hope that you get the help you need and just because you are of a certain age it does not preclude you from having surgery ......unless you are 95 and not well there is not a reason not to do it!!!!!!!!!! Second opinions are a wonderful thing if available...or third or fourth or finally fifth in my case....lol
Take care,
Victoria
