I also have an enlarged lymph node in my left breast, and right before my period it does get a bit swollen and tender. I've had multiple ultrasounds and mammo's and the doctors all said it was just that and I shouldn't worry about it. I am 45 and perimenopausal. I am sure it has something to do with the hormones. It was suggested I start taking primrose oil for the pain and I did and noticed the pain and swelling was a lot less. The doctor also said that because my breasts were mostly fat, which is a good thing, it's less likey to be cancer.
