5 year check up for non hodgekins lymphoma

My dad has been cancer free for 4 years as per the blood tests he has been going to yearly , he went to his 5 year check up and mentioned any concerns he might have with kidneys etc they have done a biopsy of the abdomen and a Ct scan and another pet Ct contract scan a few days after this  . Is this normal procedure for 5 year check up or would they only do this if they see something on the scan ?

    Biopsy results can be given to patients in several different ways including over the telephone even if it is cancer. It is impossible to second guess what they are going to tell your dad.

    But the main thing now is you will both know very soon.
