Triple negative BC - CT results, bad news given over phone?

Hi

I'm probably asking the impossible but I've been diagnosed with triple negative bc a couple weeks ago thats spread to lymph nodes in armpit.

 I'm starting chemo on Wednesday 4th May. Follow by mastectomy later on after chemo finished.

Last Monday I had a ct can on chest, stomach and pelvis.

I'm going into to have a picc line fitted on Tuesday 3rd May in the morning but i've just received a letter to say the my oncologist is going to call me on the afternoon of the 3rd - it doesn't say what for but I'm guessing its my scan results. 

Would they tell me if it was bad news on the phone?  

As I said I'm asking the impossible, and I know you guys aren't psychic. But considering a spread would mean it going from potentially curable to incurable I would like to think it would be a face to face meeting.

 

Thanks in advance x

  • Hi Nic,

    i am sorry to meet you here and am sorry too read your Diagnosis. I was diagnosed with Idc in October and have just finished chemo.

    Of course I can't say but from my Experience My results were always in person. You could ring your breast care nurse on Tuesday if you needed too she might shed some light on it.

    i hope you find Chemo okay, it's not as bad as you think. 
     

    kindest regards Sarah
