Abnormal discharge / rash and lumps!

Hi, about 6 month ago I noticed some little lumps under my left arm pit sort of to the side of my left breast, and never thought anything of it as it didn't hurt or itch, then a couple of days ago some black discharge came out of my left nipple and some dark blood, I went to the doctors yesterday and she said there  are two significant lumps in my left breast and has fast tracked me to a cancer care unit on Monday. 
I spent most of last night googling and realised the rash is actually over my lymph node and has spread upwards slightly, I've also been experiencing some pain in my shoulder the last few weeks and my left ear! My grandma had breast cancer and my mum was diagnosed with stage 4 terminal lung cancer  just after Xmas, so I'm really not having much luck at the minute! I have 4 young girls the eldest being 14 and the youngest 5 and I know Monday doesn't seem like long to wait but it feels forever away, if I went private would I get a diagnosis quicker? Will they actually tell me if I have cancer on Monday? I'm a realistic person and it doesn't look good so I just want to know for sure the quickest way possible now

thanks x
