Does appointment for biopsy results with Oncologist mean it’s definitely cancer?

Husband had mole removed a month ago and was warned it could be melanoma but also could be blue nevus (I think) He was told 70% of biopsies are negative so they didn’t remove too much It’s been a long anxious wait for the biopsy results and he was phoned yesterday to book an appointment next week for this - the letter has come now to confirm and it’s with “Medical Oncology, Dermatology Team.” Does this confirm that it’s positive for cancer? He’s quite positive still but I’m struggling with this waiting and worrying. Or am I being naive and it’s obvious it’s positive!

  • No - you get the same appointment whatever the results are as even if the news is good we have lots of questions to ask including “are you sure?”

    Good luck

  • Thank you Dave- I think I was presuming as the appointment for the results are with the Oncology team that that indicates it’s definitely cancer and he’ll be under their care. But I suppose they can’t have a separate team who deliver the good news - think I’m just overthinking it because I’m anxious. Have to remind myself that nothing is diagnosed yet and nothing is achieved by trying to guess
