Without more information, it’s impossible to know if the lymph node is important or not. Is the mass in your breast confirmed to be breast cancer? If so, the lymph node certainly would need to be biopsied or removed. If you are not scheduled for a definitive procedure for the mass, return to your surgeon immediately to make a plan. Good luck.
