    It's reassuring that the doctor found no abnormalities or lumps and it's good that they were thorough and you were referred to have a mammogram. Try not to read anything into the fact that things moved so quickly and you received the letter the next day. The fact that you received an appointment for an emergency mammogram doesn't necessarily mean that they suspect it is anything serious - you will only know what you are dealing with once you have received the results from the mammogram.

    Even though you might be feeling a bit worried about the speed at which things are moving, it's good that they are dealing with it so quickly and efficiently and you're not having to wait too long to be seen. 

    I am keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out to be fine!
