Does urgent referal mean i have cancer?

I was referred for an MRI brain scan after suffering from headaches when standing for sevesral years - no other symptoms.  I don't think anyone thought there was much chance this was cancer. However, i was told a week after the nerologist returned from holiday to make an urgent appointment for a f2f meeting - which is happening in 4 days. Does this mean I have cancer, or are there other things the scan may have revealed? Is there a way to get any info prior to my apponyment? Thank you.

  • Hi Krisser,

    I’m not a medic or a nurse but there are lots of things the MRI might have shown - some of which would have led to an emergency hospital admission via ambulance. Many of these are far less serious than cancer. It would be stupid of me to say “don’t worry” as I know how scary waiting for results is but try not to concentrate on the negatives. 

    Best wishes
