Scared very scared

Him there. I found a lump just last week in my left breast. My g.p has referred me to the breast unit and I am waiting for my appt on the 4th dec. I have dull aching pains in my shoulder blade under my armpit and down my left arm. Could this possibly be anything else other than breast cancer. I have a one year old and a 3year old and am on my own with them and can’t stop worrying about what might happen if I get poorly. Many thanks xxx
