    I'm so sorry you are going through so much right now.

    I'm also sorry that I can't help much. Until they figure out what exactly that lump is you just don't know what you are dealing with.

    Hope they can do that quickly for you. It is really scary time and you need to look after yourself. Do you have any anti-anxiety pills to help smooth the rough edges off the anxiety. If not, get a script from your onc/doc. It won't make it go away but it helps to deal with it.

    Hope someone else with more experience comes along to help you with your questions.

    But we are here and do know how scary this all is especially when you are not expecting it.

    Hugs to you and let us know what happens.

    I am sorry you're going through this as well. Take a little comfort that even the most aggressive tumors do not grow that fast. I think maybe whatever you had done (mammogram, ultrasound, etc.) caused swelling. I hope your surgery goes well and this is not a recurrence. Best wishes.
