The Waiting

About six years ago in my morning shower I discovered a small lump in my left breast. It was a few days before the first Christmas in our new home and we were having everybody over, so other than my husband I kept the news to myself. I went to my family doctor where she palpated and told me that it didn't feel sinister, most likely a fat globule. Every six months I have either a mammograms, ultrasound or both. They have all come back normal. I missed 2013 due to other illnesses and now, for the last two weeks I have been having pain in that area and tomorrow I see my family physician. So scared. Would just like it biopsied once and for all, is that too much to ask?
