Suspicious for mets: Your doctor can verify and confirm it one of two ways. Do a PET scan now or do one more CT scan of chest in 6-8 weeks from now. Biopsy may be needed but the nodules are too small for a biopsy right now...they need to be close to 10-12 mm in size. Good luck.

Probably: With stage 1 breast cancer, 9/2013 lumpectomy or partial mastectomy performed with sentinel node. . Having nodules increase in number in 2014, probably axillary nodes that had not been removed at the original surgery. Increasing nodes suggests disease progressing in axilla and as such should be biopsied If positive completion of axillary dissection needed. Hormone therapy also needed
