My 80 year old father was referred to hospital as he had trouble swallowing. Head and neck Consultant discovered a lump on his tonsil. He had biopsy last week and was supposed to see the consultant for the result on Tuesday along with X-ray and ct scan results. The biopsy result wasn't ready for Tuesday and the appointment was put back to next Tuesday. However he has to go to the Haematology department for a test and see a haematology consultant for all his results instead of the Head and neck consultant. Does this mean they think he may have leukaemia? Sorry to be so naive but it is such a worrying time. Original consultant discussed possible treatment for throat before actual diagnosis (radiotherapy) so I don't know what to think. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
