is the lump on the armpit supposed to be raised/visible, or is it supposed to be invisible?

I have breast cancer. It didn't follow any rules. Ignor the rules. Cancer is unique and each person will have a different symptom. For ANY change or symptom go see your doctor. Don't look at cancer RULES. They are all wrong. For example, it isn't supposed to hurt. Mine did. It is supposed to show up on the mammogram. Mine didn't.
Best bet-go to the doctor right away. Don't try to make sense out of it. That is what the doctors are for.

Not sure what you mean? There's not supposed to be a lump present under the armpit, but having one there doesn't necessarily indicate breast cancer. And the lymphnodes under the arm can be cancerous even if not visible. Can you give more details? Is this a person who has already been diagnosed with breast cancer?

A lump in the armpit could be an indication of breast cancer.
Breast cancer lumps can be visible on the surface or deeper so they can only be felt.
A lump in the armpit could also be something as simple as an enlarged lumph gland because you have an infection.
If in doubt, get it checked by your Dr.
