See your doctor: You were obviously diagnosed with breast cancer at a very young age (23) which is always concerning and puts you at risk for other cancers just by being a cancer survivor yourself. You shouldn't ignore any new findings like this. A biopsy might be necessary to rule out a second cancer especially if you received radiation to the chest/neck area. Please see your doctor.

Endocrinologist: These nodules are most likely unrelated to your breast cancer. They do need to be followed. You should see an endocrinologist and see if they feel these nodules should be biopsied with a fine needle.
