Lump in breast and mass on lungs

Hi, just a bit of advice really, I found a lump in my breast last March, had it checked, I was told not to worry about it. I've now been back again as it's got bigger and not disappeared. My gp has referred me as an emergency, I've also recently had a ct scam and they also found a lump or mass in my lungs too, so I've now been referred to a respiratory specialist aswell. I'm worried sick, I'm due back to work next week and don't know if I should be shielding atleast till I've had my appointments and find out what it is, I'm also looking for private health insurance, for pre existing conditions to try to speed up the whole process. Any suggestions will be much appreciated ladies
