Thanks, everyone, for your information and sharing your experiences.
She's now bravely had her ultrasound (she put on a brave face, but I know 'getting the girls out' to a stranger was giving her anxiety. She did so well.), and we've seen her GP for the results. Seems her kind of breasts are 'lumpy' breasts (pretty sure that's what the doc said), and a few smaller lumps and bumps are in there but aren't of concern, nor is the larger one we found that started this process. It appears to be nothing of concern (ultrasound technician and doctor used a long word that I don't remember off-hand), but she'll have a biopsy done in the coming weeks when the biopsy doctors are all back from Christmas holidays. Again, more anxiety for this, as it again means showing her breast to another stranger -possibly a man this time- and it involves needles, cuts, and pain to a sensitive part of her body, but she's strong and has support in spades, so she'll be okay.
It all sounds like it will be all okay, to which we are both very thankful for.
Again, thankyou to you all for your replies and online support.
And for those doing it tougher, or have been through it all when it is worse than this, our thoughts and prayers, for what they are worth to you, are with you all.
