You are in my prayers for good health and that what you have found is not cancer. Remember that cysts do come and go. The fact that it was not there a couple of weeks ago could be a good thing... that it is just a cyst that has temporarily appeared.
Before learning that I had breast cancer, the "cyst" that the surgeon and I were keeping an eye on did not change nor did it go away (over a period of about 3 weeks). He said "this concerns me because nothing has changed." A cyst will typically come and go.
I had 2 mastectomies, and can still feel what I hope are "cysts." I have had my worry hat on lately so have been checking the breasts more frequently and have noticed that in places, I can still feel a few of the same things that were in my dense breast tissue.
