Lumps in both armpits , waiting on ultrasound.

I have posted here before but that was a few weeks ago and I still haven't had an ultrasound. 

I noticed a lump in my armpit on 19th December , I went straight to the doctors and she said she would refer me for an ultrasound, but not down the 2 week urgent referral pathway.  I then noticed a new lump in my other armpit on 2nd January. I rang the doctors but they wouldn't see me for another week. The following week the doctors said that they would change my ultrasound referral to a 2 week breast clinic referral, which made me so angry because they could've done that when I found the first lump surely? :( 

Fast forward to now and I still haven't had my appointment, it's this Wednesday coming which marks an exact month since I found the first lump. I am not coping well, I have just lost my grandad to cancer (prostate) days ago. I now have a weird tingly numb sensation every now and then down my arms which is freaking me out so much. I don't know how to cope with the next few days of waiting, and the potentially another 2 weeks if a biopsy is done. I am 22 and I can't bring myself to book any holidays, make plans with friends, I'm miserable all the time. 
 

Can somebody please help :(
