Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The lymph nodes in pelvic and near the liver are difficult to aspirate or biopsy. I suggest you to consult your oncologist for PET scan to look for evidence of metatstasis in pelvic lymph nodes and lymph nodes near liver. Chemotherapy is added in cases of breast cancer when lymph nodes are positive for malignancy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
