I'm so sorry that this has happened and I understand how totally overwhelming it is. Being told that you have BC is devastating to say the least. The shock must have been even greater as you were about to be discharged thinking all was ok. Good thing is though that they found it when they did. And, until the biopsy results are available, it's hard to know exactly what they have found. I remember years ago going to the breast clinic with my mum who'd felt a pea-sized lump in her breast. After examination she was told, by a very experienced doctor, that he was certain the lump was cancerous. After having it aspirated, it turned out to be a cyst...
Hopefully once you know all your results, and what the treatment plan will be, you will feel more in control. It is a nightmare, no question, but I found that once I knew what treatment I was to have and when, I felt a little better. When you go next week, maybe you could take someone with you for moral support? There'll be a lot of information being given and, with the shock you may not take it all in, having someone with you helps with that. Also write down any questions (I had what felt like dozens)to ask the doctor, what choices you have etc. And you'll find lots of support and plenty of cyber hugs on here when you need it.
Saying try not to worry is useless I know, just be kind to yourself and take it easy. Will be thinking of you on Friday, do let us know how you get on if you can. x
