I have no history of breast cancer of lymphoma or leukemia in my family at all. I feel great and have no other symptoms of anything How concerned should I be this is cancer? what else could it be?
Brief Answer:
Some times axillary lymphadenopathy could be due to a infection
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I do not think you are having breast cancer and as your yearly mammogram and ultrasound normal with no other symptoms like breast lump or pain nothing to worry
Some times axillary lymphadenopathy could be due to a infection
Would advise you take a course of ciprofloxacin antibiotic with your doctors advise
Hope fully swelling will reduce
If it does not then biopsy is necessary
Regards
