Maybe.: There are many causes of enlarged lymph nodes. Your doctor wanting additional views and ultrasound is to rule out breast cancer or infection as a cause of the enlarged lymph nodes.

It is normal: to be concerned, but there are many causes of enlarged lymph nodes, breast cancer is one of them, but not nearly the most common. Your doctor is being thorough.
