Hello everyone, 

I am 24 and recently found a lump in my lower left breast. I noticed a slight discomfort I wouldn't say it was pain, but more uncomfortable area which made me find the lump, it is quite big. I would say about 2-3cm if not bigger. It doesn't move. I visited my doctor who put a referral in for me to the breast clinic which is in 10 days time so has came a bit quicker than expected as she said it wouldn't be urgent as I am under 30. However, on my dads side of the family my great gran had and died of breast cancer in her 50s, my gran had breast cancer in her 50s recovered & then had it again and died. My grans sister also had breast cancer in her 50s and died. My two aunties both got tested for the BRCA gene and both came back high resulting in mastectomies. So although I know I am young, I can't help but think the worst and this wait until the appointment is eating me up. I'm struggling to think, sleep & eat. I don't want to burden other people as I know my parents are really worried. So I'm trying to appear as though I'm not when deep down I am. I'm also terrified to go to the breast clinic alone (due to covid) as I have no idea what to expect & if I need biopsy I would be terrified to go through that on my own. I really don't know what to expect and I don't know what to do! :( 

sorry for the vent I'm just not sure what else to do. I feel like spending the next 10 days worrying would all be a waste of time if it came back as nothing to worry about and logically I know this but I can't stop my brain from going into overdrive and google isn't helping. 
thank you
