Sudden second appoinment with surgeon

My wife was told by a surgeon last week that she has type 3 breast cancer and they will start with chemo.  She meets her oncologist on the 11th.  But, after a CT scan, suddenly she has a second appointment with the surgeon before then.  What is the most likely cause?  She is freaking out believing that it means things are way more serious than first believed.

  • The unexpected appointment was horrible.  They have found secondary bone cancer in multiple places.  Nightmare and we have gone from "we can cure it" to "we will try to prolong your life" in one minute.  She is being so brave but she was sleeping so badly even before this latest blow.
