Worried about lump

Hi went to the doctors 6 weeks ago with a lump which I noticed a while ago but had left silly I know!! 

The doctor confirmed the lump and dipping on my skin and size was around 4cms. 

I have not heard anything so decided to go private as with covid the system is behind. 

I notice my breast has the weird sensations like a numbness and sometimes pain I'm not sure if that is positive as cancer normally appears with no pain is that true? 

I am trying to stay positive but getting harder! Have my appointment 12th Feb has anyone been in the same position? 

I keep thinking it's a cyst which is common in my age of 45. 

Remaining hopeful

    I hope you won't mind but I have changed your title so that other members can see immediately from looking at your title what your post is about which will hopefully increase your chance of getting a reply from someone who has been through this before. 

    I just wanted to wish you the best of luck for your appointment on the 12th of February. I hope everything goes well for you. You did well to go to the doctor to get this looked at and I am keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out fine! 

    Best wishes,
