Very bad anxiety and pregnant

I’m 16 weeks pregnant and found lumps in my chest between breasts and collar bone the doctor said they are my lymph nodes and started asking me about breast cancer history and said I need to go for an urgent mammogram.

I was seen at the royal marsden in dec for a lump in my armpit they said it was nothing.

I suffer from severe anxiety and panic attacks I have a 2 year old and he is severely disabled, the worry is taking over my thoughts, I collapsed yesterday and ended up in a & e.

I just don’t no what to do. Is there anyway I can speed appointment up because of how I’m feeling or pay privately.
