Super fast... Should I be worried?

Hi, I found a small lump in my forearm last week. I went to the doctor's yesterday and although she didn't think it was anything to be worried about she referred me for an ultrasound. So today I get a call from the ultrasound clinic and they book me in for tomorrow!! Now I'm not expert but that's super fast, I thought we had long waiting lists. Should I be worried at how quick I'm getting seen?

The lump is about 1cm in length, soft and moveable. 

No other symptoms.

Appreciate any words of wisdom 

Thank you

    I would try not to read anything into the speed of it - it could just be that they had a cancellation or just simply appointments available. I had the same timescale for an MRI recently. Two others in the waiting room clearly had letters/written appointments, I had to give my name and tell them I'd had a phone call the previous day. My results were good and I hope yours are too.

    Thank you. That's what my rational head said too. I was having a bit of a panic moment when I got off the phone to them. It's a no win situation, I'd be worrying if I hadn't got an appointment and I'm worrying when I do get one. Appointment tomorrow afternoon, so hoping I'm a little more reassured after that.

    Do you know whether they'd tell me the outcome of the results there and then or is there a wait? 

    Thank you
