Breast lump and armpit ache

Hey guys 

i went to the gp last week as I work up with a bright green bruise on my breast that came up without any injury and didn’t go red/purple first. Gp had a look/feel and felt a pea sized lump on breast he referred me for a 2week referral to the breast clinic. At the time I had no pain or aches or anything. The last two days I have had a strange burning/achy can’t describe pain in my breast and arm put and even my arm feels a little strange. Gp said it didn’t feel like a cyst as it’s not smooth so breast clinic would most probably scan and biopsy and not mammogram as I’m only 32. I do have neck lymph nodes that have been hard and raised with no significance for 2 years so I’m wondering if it could be a lymph node or something. Has anyone had the same and what was the outcome please. My breast clinic appointment is Tuesday 27th. Thank you xx
