see doc now - or wait?

Hello all- not sure if this is the correct place to post.

I have just come off birth control (5 days ago)- did monthly breast exam last week at usual time- all fine. As I stopped birth control I have just got another bleed. Yesterday I noticed I have a lump - visible in mirror above my breast- it is midway in chest about 4 inches from collar bone. Hard, seems like a bulging muscle? not painful to the touch.

Should I see doc now, or wait for a week or so to see if it resolves. I am about to go home for the holidays, so if it needed testing treatment I would need to cancel my holidays.

thanks in advance for any advice- I am lost on this!

Thanks for your response. I went to the docs today- apparently it is my ribs? Although I have never noticed this lump before.
Thanks for the advice though.

IF you can get an appointment very soon I would have it ck.d out ... the only testing I can think of would be perhaps an Ultrasound and this wouldn't delay your Holiday. This could be related to hormonal changes since you have just come off Birth Control but I'd have it ck.d out sooner than later, if you can.    Regards ....
