Vaginal cancer

Hi everyone, 

about a month ago I found a large lump inside my vagina. I went to the doctors last week and the doctor sent me for an urgent referral at gynaecology. 
Im quite worried as she was asking me if there was cancer of my family and how I was feeling in myself. 
the consultant reviewed the referral and also agreed that it was urgent so I have an appointment on 26th of this month. 
What do I expect at the appointment? And if tests are done, how long do you usually have to wait for the results? I'm 29 by the way.. Thanks
