Can you please advise if an all clear lumber puncture signifies that there is no cancer in the body?

Hello and thanks for posting
An all clear lumbar puncture usually means that there were no cancer cells or abnormalities found in the cerebrospinal fluid ( CSF ). However, you would need a doctor to tell you if there is cancer anywhere else in the body. Hopefully, everything will be fine, but they need to confirm this.
I hope you know more 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,
Celene
