lymph node biopsy

by eaglebrand, Apr 15, 2009 10:25AM

I had a mamogram (mammogram) which showed a suspious area and then an ultrasound. They are going to do a needle biopsy which they think is a lymph node in my breast. It was not there a year ago. They said if it is cancer it could be coming from another part of the body. Can you give me more info as to why it would show up in the breast?
