lump found in breast

Hi, I had total duct excision surgery 18 months ago because of bloody discharge from nipple.  Everything that was removed was tested and I was given the all clear.  I have now found a lump behind the areola on the same breast.  I have an appointment at the breast clinic next week and I am petrified it will be cancer.  Has anybody had anything similar?
