2 benign lumps in breast. Biopsy needed. Cancel ivf?

I am so conflicted. I am due to start FET tomorrow (which has already been delayed twice). On Thursday I found a worrying lump on my breast and urgently booked private ultrasound. The radiologist confirmed one 2,5cm lump which is likely lipoma and found another cyst which has some thickened fluid in it. She classed everything as U2, benign, but recommended biopsy to confirm findings. She said it is okay to proceed with ivf plans.

This isn't my first rodeo and I know of I disclose it to my clinic they will want biopsy results and a confirmation from nhs surgeon that it is safe to proceed with ivf. I'd like it too tbh but my husband is upset and losing patience because I pushed the other start of cycle due to other concerns and he thinks I am just always delaying it. I know I should be thinking that but it will be a real emotional toll on my if I delay again and upset him.

Yet it does worry me slightly what if biopsy and then ivf drugs will make my lumps turn cancerous (I know ot shouldn't work this way but my anxiety is an awful thing!).

Anyone had any similar experiences? Just so lost.

I don't know how to edit but it should have read thay my husband is upset because I already pushed the start of FET twice prior to this so in his eyes it's like I don't want to do it . And we have already paid for it so there is added financial pressure too.

Will they definitely want confirmation before proceeding? I recently had a lipoma removal that I’m waiting for histology results but I didn’t even think to tell my clinic and we are going ahead with IVF in a couple of weeks. I think ultrasound can be a very good diagnostic tool so I’d be reassured and would carry on in your position
