Firm fixed breast lump

Hi, I am 47 with 2 teenagers. On Monday evening I found a firm breast lump that doesn't move. It feels like the size of a pea but is smooth. I attended my GP on Tuesday morning (we have a small rural practice) and was referred fir an urgent assessment. I was very lucky to receive a call from the hospital on Wednesday morning and gave an appointment on Monday. I appreciate that this is moving very quickly which is great however I have been struggling to take it in, been googling far too much and as a result have worked myself into a frenzy. I have good family support who are all staying the right things but I can't reason with myself to calm down. 
 

Just wondering what will happen at my appointment and will I get an indication of what's happening on Monday. Also is a fixed firm smooth lump more likely to be malignant?

thanks xx
