strange right breast, very worried and waiting for doctor appointment

Have namechanged as RL friends will only panic if they see this. For the last 12 months I've had palpitations at night, very low immunity etc but put it down to stress as looking after DCs and caring for terminally ill relative. It is probably unrelated but for the last 2 weeks my right breast has been incredibly sore, getting worse and worse and really a burning pain, it feels a bit lumpy, it doesn't respond to ibuprofen, can't get comfy to sleep. I am definitely not pregnant and period made no difference to this pain. Havent been to the doctors for me, for more than a year, so I have managed to get an appointment for tomorrow. DH is away for work so I am stuck here worrying and thinking the worst, he is too worried to talk about it on the phone. Also feel foolish going in to doctors with a shopping list of decrepitude. So anyone around to hold my hand and tell me some non-awful options before I go to see GP? DCs are in bed so now I am just fretting.

Hi still reeling from the shock/suprise! after being told back in November ..no cancer ..was told yesterday..possible slow growing cancer...and i now have 3 lumps...all my medical records where/are missing...so they played it blind...the consultant wanted me to have an ultra sound and marked me up for 3 core biopsies! but as they have made me wait 3 months.. i may do what someone else here did first and try antibiotics..zap it...then evening primrose..if ok to take..and a pain killing gel...they just could be abscesse's fingers x
Usually in the past after being examined... the doc's ask you to get dressed then call you and your partner in...then explain what might be going on....and what they are looking for...
