Biopsy results

My husband has received a letter to see a consultant for his prostrate biopsy results. Please can anyone share their experiences. Do you see the consultant if the news is good or bad? Sorry just a little worried as his appointment is with the lead cancer consultant. Thanks 

  • Hi,
     

    Obviously, this can be different hospital by hospital but where I live, biopsy results are always given in person. Also it is fairly normal for the appointment to say it is with the lead consultant. Usually it is them or a member of their team but usually that isn't allocated until a couple of days before.

    Don't read too much into the method of communication. They are standard template letters (or texts as I've had in the past)

    Good Luck x

  • Thank you. I did ring and the hospital confirmed it was with the consultant this time. For the MRI results it was a nurse practitioner, so that's what panicked me.

    Thank you, for you kind words x
