    TOMMI L - No, it probably harmless but I would defiantly get a mamogram every 3 yrs ( or yrly if your over 45) to keep an eye on things

    well wisher - There are no lymph nodes in breast.
    All lymphatic drainage from breast goes to axillary nodes.
    Update your knowledge.

    elvis - For starters, stop reading and trust your doctor.

    Lymph nodes can be shotty. This is often when they swell infection or something and never return to normal size.
