Breast lump scare!

Hi, 

I am new to all this. I am 33 and found a lump in my right breast. It's on the outter part of the breast. I noticed it a month ago but I thought it my be something to do with my hormones. I'm on the merina coil and don't have periods so hard to say where I am in my cycle. It's not noticeable to look at but you can feel it, it does move but not smooth. It feels like it's 3cm in size. I massage this breast and yellow/cream milk came out, very small amount. I stopped breastfeeding 20 months ago. 
 

My breast are not symmetrical and this breast has always been slightly bigger. Even when I breastfed my little boy 2 years ago this was the one that got mastitis. 
 

Anyway, I went to the GP yesterday and she said she felt a lump. I asked ok what type of lump and she just looked at me and said it's a lump. I know it is but I think she was just so straight to the point. I was by myself and she could see my fear. I left the GP practice feeling lost! Anyway, I have an appointment at the breast clinic next week and just have the fear. I'm scared it is what I think it is. 
 

my breast are very tender at the moment. If I stand still they don't hurt but if I touch it I can feel some pain. Not sure it because of all the prodding and poking it's gone through. 
 

Anyone been in a similar situation? Also, no family history, my cousin on my dads side got BC at 32 but GP said that its not immediate family so dismissed it. 
 

Thank you.

    I was in the exact same position I'm 38 and 2 weeks ago found a lump in the outer quadrant of my left breast that was firm and moved but wasn't smooth it didn't hurt Untill I had prodded and poked it that much it became swollen and had dull aches in the breast I also had swelling under the same arm and in the tail of Spence area. I had my breast clinic appointment last Friday and mine turned out to be fat narcosis which is breast tissue that's been damaged and turned into scar tissue they scanned my whole breast and under my arm and found nothing concerning they actually showed me the serve brusing on my scan I had caused myself by poking it repeatedly. I have just had my copy letter from the breast clinic today which explains it all to me and clearly states no suspicious mass or nodule found I think I can now start to let the worry go there is a lot of postive outcomes and just wanted to tell you mine to bring some positivity to you x
