Results - had a call asking to go in for my results on Wednesday. So worried that it's cancer

Hey, had phone call from hospital today, they said I need to go in for results on Wednesday, I'm even more worried now that it maybe cancer even more now, my head can't stop being stressed about it, maybe more tests need doing but just feel like if I didn't have it they wouldn't ask me to come in, slightly worried:((

  • Helslclofoeekd and thank you for your post.

    I am sorry to hear about your situation. I can understand how unsettling this maybe waiting to hear your results.

    It is not necessarily true that only bad results are given face-to face. Different consultants or departments may have varying approaches to sharing results. Most consultants prefer not to disclose results over the phone or by mail, most of them opt for face-to-face communication, regardless of whether the news is good or bad. 

    Anxiety UK have useful tips and advice on how to cope in these situations that you may find helpful.

    I can appreciate there is a lot of uncertainty for you. I hope you know more about your situation soon.

    Please get back to us if you need any more information or support. You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Kind regards
