Maybve you could ask to have a fine needle biopsy done on the lump. I had a very tiny lump several years ago (which turned out to be nothing) and that's what they did.

If it does turn out to be cancer - yes that is scary and the treatment can be gruelling - but at least you will have caught it early and you will have a good chance of being cured. Good luck.
