How Can A Hard Lump In The Breast Be Treated?

I recently had a mammogram and ultrasound, I am still awaiting results. However, my labs came back with low Vitamin D and low levels of tsh for my thyroid.
I am 40 and went to the doctor because I noticed a lump in my breast. Waiting is hard, but while I wait...I was wondering if there is a connection with thyroid, viatamin d, and breast cancer?

Hello,

Hard lump in breast have different modalities of treatment as lumpectomy, quadrantectomy, mastectomy or modified radical mastectomy depending upon the histopathological diagnosis of the lesion with supportive data of radiology and laboratory markers. There are no definite connections with low TSH, vitamin D, and breast cancer.
