Silicone Breast Injection. I had an ultrasound and have silicomas in my lymph nodes. What shall I do? Are they dangerous?

Mum of three
In 1998 I had silicone injected straight into the breast. I now have three children and am very aware of huge lumps in my breasts, I had an ultrasound and they have said that they are silicomas. They are in my lymph nodes. What shall I do? Are they dangerous? I do not want my life with my kids to be cut short because of a stupid mistake!
