Worried breast cancer

I’m 19 years old and have had swelling under my right armpit for some time now. I also have redness of both breasts which mostly covers both of them . I went to my gp and she referred me for a “mammogram “ . In the end I only had a ultrasound and she said that my lyth nodes are swalloen under my right armpit . She checked my breast but couldn’t see a lump . And that was basically it she told me to come back if it gets any worse ? I’ve had the swelling just under 6 months and the redness for about a month ? She said she was going to do a biopsy of my armpit but didn’t because she didn’t think it was “sinister” . I just kinda feel fobbed off just wondering isit because my age ? I have no pain in the breasts atall they just feel abit heavyier than usual they have also increased in size as I was a DD and now a e ? Just wanted some advice or help thankyou

    i don’t think any health care professional would fob anyone off due to their age but at 19 breast cancer would be very rare, an ultrasound would be used for young females due to breast density as mammograms are useless for picking anything up in dense breasts so the doctor was correct in her use of ultrasound. 

    They can also tell if a lymph node is sinister or not and yours clearly isn’t and therefore required no further treatment.

    did she comment on the redness or the swelling?
