Mammo and US on other side :(

I am trying not to start worrying too much, but I am having a diagnostic mammo & US next week on my remaining side.

A few months ago I noticed clear/whitish nipple discharge on my good side - it wasn't spontaneous and contained no blood, but in January I decided to get it checked out before we got pregnant.

Lo and behold I got pregnant early Feb and couldn't get in to the appt til today, @ 9 weeks (separately, I had an US for the baby this morning and it was wiggling like crazy!). Meanwhile my boob is already at least a cup size larger than normal due to preggo hormones. 

I saw a brand new doc for the breast exam, b/c we're living in a different state now, and on manual exam she said she thought she felt a rectangular "prominence" on the top of my breast. The good news is that it was "moveable" but IMO the bad news is that she felt it at all. :( She wasn't very concerned about the discharge (she couldn't express anything in her own exam) but to "do our due diligence" she's sending me for mammo & US. 

As soon as she said it, I had a moment of panic - I went right back to when I was diagnosed w/ DCIS the first time. (FWIW I had a clear mammo on the remaining side last June.)

So I'm trying to calm myself down because I do not want to go back to that dark place. Any encouraging thoughts you can offer would be welcome - mammo/US are on Apr 1.
