I went for my f/u breast us and my lymph under my left armpit still looks like its reacting to something. need to f/u in 6 mos what can it be? scared

Relax: Just because the lymph node is still there doesn't mean it is still reacting to anything. If there was any real concern the recommendation would be for biopsy and not follow up in 6 months. Consult a breast surgeon if you are still nervous.
