Hi welshwoman and a warm welcome to our forum, 

I am sorry to hear a lump was found after they did the mammogram and I can imagine this is a bit of an anxious time for you where you will have lots of questions racing through your mind.  It won't be too long now until your appointment on the 1st of September and it is normal to feel unsure what to ask especially as you don't have a clear idea yet as to the full results. It's great that you have the support of your daughter and husband during this challenging time. One tip I often give anyone who is waiting to be seen is to write down all your questions in the lead up to the appointment so that you don't forget - perhaps your daughter and husband will have some ideas too as to what you might want to ask so make sure you write everything down so that it doesn't slip your mind on the day. I am so sorry to hear about your stroke and that it has left you with difficulty speaking and finding the right words - given what happened to you and the fact the stroke has left you confused and with difficulty sometimes expressing yourself, is there a way your daughter and husband could come with you to the appointment and help you articulate what you want to ask if you happen to feel a bit shaken or unable to find the right words on the day of your appointment? That and bringing the list of questions to ask which you will have prepared in advance might be helpful. 

Other members of our community have been through this before and have had this kind of appointment too so I hope that you will hear from their suggestions based on their individual experiences. 

Keeping everything crossed for you that it all turns out to be nothing of concern

Best wishes,
