Depends: Which side your supraclavicular nodes are enlarged on. The rt SC nodes drain from the mediastinum (area in thorax) lungs and esophagus, whereas the left SC node receives lymph drainage from the thorax and abdomen. The axillary (under armpit) nodes receive lymph drainage from the breast, arm and thoracic wall. See your doctor in any case, because you should have a physical exam to find the cause

Needs evaluation.: It is very difficult to give a diagnosis without doing a physical exam with this type of complaint. With enlarged lymph nodes there a various possibilities: infection, inflammation, tumor. In this case we want to make sure this is not a malignant tumor in your breast even though you are young. Make sure you see your doctor ASAP for evaluation and diagnosis.
