Brief Answer:
Hello dear. You require further investigation

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. Welcome to HCM. I have gone through the details. First of all you need to understand few things. If your breast mammogram and ultrasounds are normal, then most likely it cant be a cancer of breast, it is a benign lump in breast. Moreover a breast cancer is very unlikely to travel to groin nodes. In my opinion, you require following tests
A biopsy of groin node
If biopsy comes out to be positive for cancer, then a petct scan.
Hope u understand.
Feel free to ask further.
Thanks and regards

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. If the breast ultrasound is normal, then get a biopsy from breast lump as well. Petct will be required only if the biopsy comes positive for cancer. Please share the report of mammography as well as usg.
