Lymph nodes armpit

[qwerty4]

Hi everyone,

Yesterday I had an ultrasound of my left breast because of a small lump I found. The doctor said everything looks normal (he didn't say what the lump is) but then also casually said that the lymph nodes in my left armpit are 'a bit enlarged'. I asked if that is not worrisome but he said it is not a problem. Now of course I keep thinking about it and I'm wondering why they are enlarged :/

I don't know how accurate an ultrasound is (and don't want to look it up) but what if he missed something and the lymph nodes are enlarged because there IS cancer somewhere?
I thought I would be relieved, but because of what he said about the lymph nodes I am still stressed (I know it is probably stupid). What do you guys think about this? Should I ask another dr about this or just leave it?

They test everything if there is any doubt, so you are fine! Why not call your doctor for follow-up if you think you'll keep worrying about it. That's what I do when I just need extra information. Try not to worry! I'm having a breast biopsy on Monday and wish they had sent me home with everything is cool! But you're good. just call your doctor for peace of mind if you're worried but DO NOT GOOGLE what this "could" mean. Please don't do it to yourself!
