My partner of 30 years has recently had a bowel cancer test after they found blood, during a recent routine test for something else (for the life of me I can't remember what she was originally being tested for).
Today the consultant called with an appointment for a consultation at the hospital in a week's time. Does this mean she likely has cancer? The reason I ask is I had a similar test a few months ago and they told me by phone that I was clear, so it seem unlikely to me that they would ask her to go to the hospital if nothing is wrong. She is 70 in a couple of weeks' time.
The reason I ask is I have to go to Germany two days before the appointment, to work for a few weeks, and we could really use the money. I'll lose a valuable contract I don't go which I really can't afford to do, but obviously if it is bad news I need to be with her at the time of the appointment, that's obviously far more important. No point me calling the hospital as they won't tell me anything.
