I don't want to make you panic or anything but yes, vet appointment asap and hopefully they can at least do an x-ray for you.
Seeing exactly where that lump is, that's not a good place. That is around the area of where a BP's heart is. I know someone who had a sudden lump appear in that area on their snake and it was a heart condition. The one on that snake grew fairly quickly. I would try to keep tabs on how large it is now and make notes if it changes.
She seems like a pretty good weight, so I would personally fast her until she can see the vet if the appointment is soon. Because of the area I would try not to put too much pressure on it and minimize stretching and that includes from meals. If for some reason she become lethargic and weak or starts laying with her mouth open, that is an emergency and can not wait.
Fingers crossed for you both! Please keep us updated!
