I found this thread by looking up benign looking lymph nodes on the web. I have been being followed every 6 months with a right breast ultrasound since August due to an abnormal mammogram. They have classified it as a birads 3. I went to my Drs on Monday because I have had for some time now some tenderness under my right arm. Tuesday I had an ultrasound and got the results today that there are 2 benign looking lymph nodes and I am suppose to follow up with another ultrasound in six months on my lymph nodes now too. By reading this post I am getting the impression that this is not the course of treatment I want to take and I should push for a biopsy?
