Hard sore lump in breast

I was on here over half a year ago, worrying that I had breast cancer, and I was one of the fortunate ones who didn't! I was diagnosed with multiple cysts. 
This time I am fairly sure it is yet another cysts, and I've just been referred to the breast clinic by the GP. 
Even though rationally, I know most breast lumps (especially ones that hurt) turn out to be benign, I thought I'd manage my creeping anxiety and post on here so I'm not internally worrying all by myself! 
I do hope no one minds as I'm aware there are people on here with confirmed diagnosis to contend with. But I'm just looking for some friendly people behind keyboards to chat to whilst I wait! x

    Hi, hope you are ok, no matter how many times lumps turn out to be cysts, it doesn't stop our brains overthinking ! It's a hard wait that seems like forever when it's you going through it! Be kind to yourself and try to keep busy as this does help even though it doesn't take all that thinking away! Before you know it your appointment will be happening and you will know either way what your lump is, stay brave! if it turns out to be another cyst this  can easily be drained! Sending huge luck and love and hoping you are seen soon, please let us know how you get on and I'm sure like the other ladies on here are all here to support and listen whenever you need support!! Take care the wait will be over soon xxxx
