Breast check

Hi, I had a found a lump on my left breast few weeks ago. My doc referred me to breast clinic for mammogram and ultrasound. On d day I had both done but they requested me back 2 days later for biopsy. Went back for biopsy and D doc left a piece of lint (I tink) in my breast in case something comes back on d biopsy, they then know the exact area. Is this normal. My head is wrecked thinkin the worst. Its a week before results come back and i cant stop thinkin the worst. Any one else have this done and got good results after biopsy? Is putting a piece of lint in d breast normal?  I'm so scared
