At your age, breast cancer would be fairly rare indeed and this Forum deals specifically with breast cancer issues. Lymph nodes can be swollen for a number of reasons ... usually due to an infection somewhere in the body. You stated that you couldn't go to the Dr. because you didn't have Insurance .... you don't need Insurance to see a Dr. and you could certainly arrange for some sort of payment plan. You did mention that you have seen a Dr. about the lymph nodes in your neck so I'm sure you could arrange another appointment if you are concerned about what you felt on your self breast exam. Any change in the breast tissue should be ck.d out by a Physician and it's impossible to speculate as to the cause without an examination. If you could in the future, please try to ask your questions in only one post ... it's much easier and faster to get a response to you that way.   Regards .....
