Starting last August I fill much better and did not have problems with my recovery.
But at that time I noticed couple nodes near my breast nipple (3-4)one pea size and went to PCP to clear things.
Every time that I fill progress in my health i notice more nodes in my body .
Does anybody has same thing going on.
Went to Hospital they did mammography and told me it is lymph node but has nothing to do with cancer they did many cancer labs(very expensive one)all came clear.
They told me to come back only if I notice that the nodes are growing bigger.
In mean time I just felt better and better and nodes got smaller in size but now my they are all over my chest under the skin and also allover my arms and going toward forearms .
First time when I noticed this talked to a surgeon to and he agreed to do biopsy and told me just tell me for what you want to look for .
But after consult with my LLMD hi told me don't do that without telling why .
Although I just wanted my LLMD opinion i had maid my mind to do it .
I made a phone call with surgeon office but hi now changed his mind and told me to do biopsy only if they get bigger. Does anybody has this and what do you think it is.
I assume it is lyme cyst or bacteria cyst of some kind.

when i feel bad my nodes swell up. I do not have them where yours are. but one in particular is called my epitrochlear node. Most doctors dont even know where that is! My pcp measured it and even photographed mine.
There can be problems when taking out nodes, so I wouldnt be in a real rush to do so.

Hi Maradona,
Just my thoughts.....
I would have a Thermography done of the breasts. (If you are not sure what this is, google it. It is a very definitive type of screening and picks things up much much sooner than a mammography). Cost in my area is $300.
Second, I would go for lymphatic drainage massages. I just went for the first time 2 weeks ago and noticed a difference. I have had a lump under my left armpit for about 3+ years. No one could provide an answer for me. After the lymphatic massage, the lump is now greatly reduced. I also have lumps in my breasts that I am massaging myself to help unclogs lymph nodes there.
I think it is important to get the lymphatic system working and moving. Very important.
Also, I would not do a biopsy (because when you poke at something, that's when things like cancer can spread).
