27 yrs old, waiting for biopsy results

About 8 weeks ago I noticed a lump, I swear it had to have appeared somehow overnight. Its relatively small, similar to a dry pinto bean. I’m a 32B but my breast have always swollen to double that size during my cycle.

My PCP did a physical exam and ordered an ultrasound, she said I’m too young to get exposed to the radiation of a mammogram. I had the ultrasound on 1/29. The radiology assist examined me for about 5 mins and then told me she would be back shortly with the Doctor. She came back a few minutes later, alone, and told me to lay back down so she could scan my lymph nodes. This is when I started to worry…

The results of my Ultrasound-
the left breast demonstrates a hypoechoic antiparallel irregular mass with indistinct margins. No bloodflow is identified however. No suspicious lymphadenopathy is seen. BIRADS 4.

I had my core needle biopsy just this morning. I tried to get the doctor to tell me my odds but he was flighty. He said something about how it could still be a cyst? Once he left the room the radiology assist said it is likely not a cyst. I should have my results on Friday, which is my birthday actually. I know I have great odds of it being benign, but I’m scared.
