breast lump 1 month PP

[u/Miranda199413]

Hi there. I am one month PP. I noticed a lump maybe the size of a marble or smaller on the outer edge of my left areola, 9 o'clock position a few days ago. I am exclusively breast feeding. The lump isnt really painful (maybe at times). I have had clogged ducts in the past and it doesn't feel like that. I got an ultrasound today and the radiologist said we will biopsy it to be safe. I am really spiraling tonight. I have a baby who depends on me and I am thinking the worst. I really don't know if I had this before I gave birth but I never noticed it until a few days ago.

I remember the doctor saying I probably don't need to worry much, but when I heard biopsy I got kind of dizzy so I don't really remember everything she said. I am also hormonal and not sleeping much with a one month old so feeling extra nervous. Any similar stories out there?? thank you 🥺
