Breast lump sticking out side of my breast

Hi guys,

I have just been referred on the 2 week wait screening, I have a 3cm large lump in my left breast which you can see from the naked eye. 

I have had a cyst and fibroadenoma on my right breast, but nothing on my left breast before and this looks and feels completely different. 

the doctor has described it as “irregular, firm large breast lump” on my form. 

I am genuinely very worried about this, can I ask everyone else’s experiences of lumps that you can actually see from the naked eye. 

thanks so much
