I dont have an answer to your question but I do remember being a MESS when I found my lump last Christmas.  I found support in my husband (he is a surgeon) and my mom.  If you dont have good support especially with young children, call family or friends and ask for help.  I had a hard time but it is the best thing you can do.  Take comfort in knowing that the lump probably will be nothing and even if it is cancer, God forbid, there is no rush to get it out.  You first want to know what it is and then find the best breast specialist in your area you can afford. Dont go to just any surgeon.  Good luck and I hope all goes well.
