Hi @queenlala101, welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. This is an online forum for patients to connect with one another for information and to give and get support. Naturally, as fellow patients, we cannot offer a diagnosis. But I can assure you that you're doing the right thing by consulting with a medical professional. I'm glad that you are going for an appointment next week to follow up with your doctor.
As you know, our breasts go through many changes with our cycle and at different stages of life. Being breast aware is really important and I'm glad you and your mom noticed these recent changes.
I get it. This is scary and you're freaking out, but there may be a very simple explanation for these abnormalities. It sounds like searching on Google is not helpful for you right now. I might suggest trying not to get too wrapped up in worry (easier said than done). Instead get involved in things you enjoy. What might you be able to do this weekend to calm or distract yourself?
I thought I attached to the doc but I guess I didnt.
