Mum has face to face appointment after scan. Should we be worried?

My mum had a scan on her kidneys a year ago which they found a couple of lesions. She had a follow up scan Friday 3rd feb. She received a call yesterday as they would like to see her face to face on Sunday 18th. Should we be worried? She had stage 3 breast cancer 3 years ago ( 2 clear scans) . Thank you 

  • Hello Jen_jo

    I'm sorry to hear that your Mum has recently been recalled for an appointment following a scan. It's understandable that you may be feeling anxious. 

    We often see people post about being recalled for another appointment after initial test results are returned and this is usually because some further investigations are needed. However, this doesn't always mean bad news so try not to be too worried at the moment. 

    Hopefully at your Mum's appointment next weekend the team will be able to give you some clarity and reassurance about your Mum's health. 

    Do let us know how she gets on. 

    Best wishes,
