As breast feeding itself reduces the risk of Breast Cancer -by 80% You need not worry for it being cancer.
CT Scan and Mammography after 6 mths would decide if CT guided FNAC would be needed.
In the mean while-Take care of the Nursing baby and breast feeding of the baby.
Till the time it is proved to be Cancerous Don't worry at all for it being Cancerous Lump in you breast.
