worried

I had a mammogram last week and have been called back for further tests which is tomorrow. I had a feeling this would happen because I felt changes in my right breast, it is now swollen and really painful. I kept meaning to go the doctors but I am currently caring for my 31 yr old daughter who is going through chemo because she had breast cancer so just couldn’t find the time. Fortunately I got called up for my mammogram. I am really worried about my results, has anybody else had these symptoms? Thank you x
