Last month I had a flu shot. I haven't had a flu shot since I was 18. The only reason I did was because I didn't want to get the flu and spread it to my dad who is suffering from lung cancer.

Anyway, that night my shoulders were sore and two days later it was still sore and my under arm was puffy. I called the nurse and asked about this and she recommended I see my doctor. She had never heard of this happening before. I went to the doctor and she ordered a mamogram and told me to monitor the lump. After a week, the swelling went down and I felt relieved. But then I receive a notice advising me to follow up and the reason stated was: Adenopathy. I had never heard of this before and I looked it up. I was surprised at the little information one could find about this.

Is anyone familiar with this? BTW, my mamogram came back fine.

Cheers,
Cathi
