Lump in breast and swollen nodes

I am terrified! 
I found ahard lump in my armpit over a week ago and yesterday found another one.  they are hard and don't move about. They don't course pain. I have been experiencing sharp pain in chest on and off on the same side for a few weeks. 
so I called the doctors yesterday  who agreed to see me same day. 
While examined me she found a lump in my breast on same side. They have sent a urgent referral for a scan and my mind is now out of control. 
my mom and Nan both had breast cancer. 
Online everything is pointing to cancer  

  • Hi there,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I can understand this must be unsettling - it's good to hear you have a referral as this should mean you get answers before too long.

    Try to avoid looking things up online as it's not possible to self-diagnose, and it tends to only lead to more worries.

    Try to keep yourself busy while you wait, to help keep your mind off things. And hopefully the appointment will come around quickly.

    Wishing you all the best,
