Lump under areola for more than 6 months

Hey 

Basically I found a hard pea sized lump right under my areola about 6 months ago. It feels like it's connected deeper into my boob. I was scared to mention it to my doctor because I'd seen a female doctor before about pain and hardness in my boob and she told me my age meant it's very unlikely to be anything bad and not to worry. I'm 21 now and I've been monitoring this lump but it is not going away. It's not painful but can be uncomfortable to touch, particularly recently. I can also get pain in my armpit sometimes. 
 

I spoke to my doctor on Monday and he's referred me to the breast clinic. 
 

Does anyone have any experience with this? Or know how long it takes to get your appointment through from the breast clinic ? 
 

I'm really anxious about it and with coronavirus my brains just going into overdrive.

    Hi DVLXXX

    I found a pea size lump on my areola and went to hospital for needle biopsy, I never heard anything so I presumed all was good.

    Unfortunately,  I recieved a call yesterday to say they mislaid my paperwork and asked me to go today.

    I was asked to take a friend, on arrival my consultant was very nice, too nice? X he did another scan in the room and said he has to remove it because it has grown in 8 month and now its prominent. 

    I go next Friday 3rd for a full removal he said he will know if it is the C word when they have a better look.

    I am worried too, I hope all turns out to be OK for both of us xxxx
