Cysts

I went to the Dr’s yesterday as I was in a bit of pain on the odd occasion with my right breast but only if I fell asleep at a certain angle. Dr examined me and said I have 3 lumps the size of peas in my right breast. She’s hoping they’re cysts. She said it could be a 2 week wait for a scan then find results within 48hrs of the scan. She said the lumps move and because I’m in pain she thinks it’s cysts not cancer. I’m worried sick. But I noticed tonight my whole right breast kinda aches not hurts just aches. Anyone else experienced the same? X
