I have kind of a similar issue. I have armpit lumps ( size of a lemon)... for many years now. Doesn't really pain or hurt... but doesn't go either. Did you find anything about it ? I have even posted on Dermatology community... and have a pic attached there.

Enlarged lymph nodes don't have to be an indication of breast cancer at all. Lymph nodes become enlarged for several reasons ... one is due to an infection somewhere in the body. If you haven't consulted your personal Physician and you are worried about this I suggest you do so. Regards ....
