welcome to Health care magic.
1.Yes you need to be concern with the lumps on the neck ( as they are lymph nodal enlargement generally after confirmed breast Ca)
2.Get an Ultrasound Breast and neck done - an FNAC of the Lymph node can be done for confirmation.
3.An immediate action can be taken by oncologist - like mastectomy and lymph nodal removal. Which will give a better life.
4.Do not ignore - take actin as soon as possible.
5.A triple phase CT chest and abdomen pelvis to stage your breast cancer can be done by your doctor and treat accordingly.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
