I had a mamogram and sonogram done where they found a complex cyst on my breast. While viewing the mamogram they also found a suspicious lymph node under my arm. I have a biopsy tomorrow would like to know what to expect having the biopsy and what I should be concerned about.
Thank you

What can I do next?

When I was diagnosed with breast cancer, they never called anything a complex cyst, they sent me for tests and a biopsy and said nothing until the testing came back. So the fact that they called it a cyst is promising, meaning they likely would hesitate to call it that if they weren't sure.

The biopsy probably won't be much fun. I went to a breast surgeon who specializes in cancer treatment, and like many surgeons his bedside manner was lacking. He took a very fine needle and stuck it into the lump to extract cells. They can't numb it because they need to be able to manipulate it in aiming for the lump, so it will sting. But it should be quick.

So this may be different if you are not having a needle biopsy as an office procedure.
