Lump found on mammogram

I’m 53 and had my second mammogram about 3 weeks ago, last Saturday I got a letter saying I needed to go for more tests. I went on Wednesday and they told me there was changes on my right breast that wasn’t there on my 1st mammogram so I had another more intense mammogram and ultrasound guided biopsy. The dr doing the test said I had a 1cm lump ( which couldn’t be felt) she then told me I would get an appointment the following week for my results as they will be discussing my case in the MDT meeting a few days later. The doctor also said I would see the consultant who will discuss my treatment plan and surgery. My husband came with me and although at no point did they say we think this is cancer we both got exactly the same feeling that that’s what they suspect just from the way she was talking.There was also no mention that it was just a cyst.   
the waiting is horrible, and I do know that I have been very lucky and seen very quickly but it’s horrible knowing they have got my results and discussed it yesterday and I’ have no idea what they are.
