About a week ago while showering I felt a tiny lump in my breast, today the lump felt bigger and the tissue surrounding it is more firm so I booked a doctors appointment.  They have sent me for a referral for suspected cancer. I was sent for a blood test within the hour and was told by the nurse they are rushing the test through,  and less than an hour after the blood test I've been given an appointment for the breast clinic. 

My question is, do they put so much urgency in for every lump found or do they highly suspect this could be cancer?  I'm OK, not feeling upset or worried, in fact handling it far better than I expected. But just wondering if this level of urgency is normal.
