Swollen lymph nodes in breast

Swollen lymph nodes in breast

After mamogram (mammogram) and ultrasound I have been told that I have swollen lymoh (lymph) nodes in breast. Suggested repeat mamogram (mammogram) & us in 6 monthes. Breast area hurts and under arm hurts too. No mass, cancer or cyst now. Stopped breast feeding 6 mths ago - I don't like the wait and see attitude - should I be doing anything else? I'm 34 in good shape and non smoker. Leukemia in family so I am frightened.  I am thinking of finding a good breast specialist - I am located close to Cleveland.  Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Dear Jenann:  It's difficult, without reviewing the mammogram to give an explanation.  This could represent many things, including infection.  Breast cancer is not typically painful.  If you are concerned, you should not hesitate to see a breast specialist.  Six months is a long time to worry, especially if it is not necessary.
