What is it?

So, lets go back to late January 2018, it was a normal day, went to work nothing out of the ordinary. I get home later in the day, cook dinner, we eat, have conversation, clean the table, seriously everything is normal. I am watching a little TV that evening and go to the bathroom, after i brushed my teeth I was like ya know I should do a self breast exam, if I am being totally honest, I was not diligent with doing them (I was diligent with my mammograms), and have no clue why this particular evening I felt the need to do one. At any rate I felt a small “bump” in my right breast! I immediately felt the left one, did not feel anything, felt the right one again, still there (I mean what was it going to do, go away, lord knows I prayed it would!) I went to the bedroom and told Mike, “I think I feel something in my breast”. I laid on the bed and had him feel it (desperate times call for desperate measures.) He felt both breasts just like I had, he did it a few times and BOOM,  yep he felt it! My mind went many different places within 2 seconds! Of course, we decided I would call the doctor the next morning as soon as they opened. Now, I must mention that in 2016, I had a breast biopsy done because of a spot that appeared on a mammogram, that was benign and they used a “marker” to keep a watch on it, this was not in the same place in my breast so I pretty much knew I was dealing with something different. I called the doctors office the next morning, the girl answers the phone, I explain what is happening and why of all days does the girl give me a hard time about getting an appointment?! She was trying to get me in a month later, yeah that`s not going to work for me, so I ask her “Did you hear what I told you?” She of course heard me but still insisted on the month later appointment, NOPE, not going to work, let me speak with someone else (I am normally not so rude but hello, this was different!) She places me on hold, comes back and ask if Friday at 6:30am would work? That was only 4 days away, I took the appointment and thought to myself, she made a 6:30am appointment on purpose, I mean I have to drive roughly 45 minutes to get there and she knows that but I was happy that I did not have to wait for the month out appointment..
