Anxious for my wife! Lump found in breast, been referred for urgent mammogram

Hi all, I just don’t know how to feel at the moment. I just need somewhere to talk I suppose. My wife had noticed 3 small red spots on one of her breasts which have been present for a few months. They haven’t changed shape. Yesterday however, as she got out of the shower, she noticed one started to bleed. Obviously this panicked her and we decided she should call the GP. They made a referral to her nearest clinic today and the doctor found a lump on her breast and her armpit. She has now got an urgent referral for a mammogram. She had a non cancerous cyst removed from her breast in 2012, so we are both hoping it’s something similar. We are both worried sick. I just feel so helpless. Thank you to anyone taking their time to read this.
