Honestly, I'm scared shitless. And, yes, I'm following up.

Jo!
Sending you positive thoughts!!! Do not wait for the appointment. Call and ask your doctor to telephone you NOW! You should not have to wait for an appointment - the waiting is UNFAIR and only creates anxiety and panic.
Just remember to breathe and know you are NOT ALONE!
I am sure it is fine -- Often at our age we (especially if we are large breasted) have Fibroid Adenoma's which are benign. Not uncommon. I have had a dozen biopsies and this is what they have been 90% of the time for me.
Every tumor I have had - they told me the day they found it and I had it biopsied the next day and within a week knew the results.
