Welcome, sorry you have to join us but welcome nevertheless. Waiting is always nerve wracking! But most people find knowing precisely what they have and the treatment recommended actually helps - you have something to focus on. It also helps in what to tell people. I woke up one morning with a slightly sore, slightly swollen breast too. But so wise of you to get it attended to and not wait. By all means chat to people here, there's a wealth of experience and knowledge. But nearly everyone has a different pathology, different treatment, cancer is hugely variable so be prepared that things may be different. Take one step at a time. That's the way you can all adjust to a new reality and treatment. And always remember, many of us get through this and get on with our lives! Best wishes.
