Lymph nodes can become enlarged for several reasons; one being an infection in some part of the body. I would wait the extra month (you stated that it had already been 2 mo.) and do the re-check. If it shows no change you might ask about some possible treatment. Since you are 41 and mammograms are recommended yearly after the age of 40; have you had one ?? If not it might serve to ease your mind as far as any concern related to breast issues. Lymph nodes are about the size of a bean so I wouldn't really class your node as being terribly enlarged. If you do decide on a biopsy .. when the correct area is biopsied (such as an individual node) only a few cells are necessary to obtain a result. Best wishes .....
