Feeling overwhelmed - found a lump in my breast and next week I'll be having an ultrasound, mammogram and biopsy

Hello everyone,

I'm 62 and lead a very active lifestyle. 3 weeks ago I had pain in my left breast after lying on my front in an exercise class. Then I discovered a lump.

I've had a physical exam at the breast clinic, results so far: 'palpable lump no other abnormality's noted.'

in a weeks time I have an ultrasound & mammogram then possibly a biopsy.

i don't feel like myself, feeling nervous and a huge loss of confidence. I'm a carer for a learning disabled relative and my husband is waiting for an operation.

I'm usually a positive person but feel quite bleak which is unlike me.
