What Causes Swollen Lymph Gland Behind My Left Breast?
Hi, I just received the results from an ultrasound scheduled by my OBgyn noting a swollen lymph gland or fibroid tumor behind my left breast. I was instructed to make a follow-up 6 month appointment for another ultrasound which seems somewhat too passive a response for me so I was about to look up possible reasons for a swollen lymph gland prior to contacting my primary physician.

Hi
Welcome.
I have gone through your query.
It is difficult to comment on it without examination, so I would either suggest you to see doctor for examination and for exact diagnosis or upload the pictures here, I'll go through them, and provide you with specific advice.
Fibroid is benign entity that is reason they might have asked for follow up after some time. you can get second opinion, it will also help in reducing your anxiety about it.
Hope this helps.
Take care
