Hi,
I had surgery last week to remove a 17cm mass in my abdomen, it was emergency surgery due to the pain and during surgery they found it had ruptured and due to what they found they also removed my appendix and took some biopsies.
I'm recovering from surgery now and waiting for the results. I have just had to call the outpatient unit to cancel a pre-arranged appointment since I've now had the surgery and was told that they could see a telephone appointment has been arranged for the 1st December. On my discharge notes it did say that a follow up call would be arranged following an MDT discussion following my histology.
My question is, does the fact a telephone appointment has already been arranged mean that my results are already back? Also, as my mind is in overdrive at the moment I'm wondering if this is a good thing or bad, ie, if my results were clear wouldn't they let me know straight away or is the fact the appointment isn't for another week mean they have to have a conversation and discuss care plan.
I know no-one could give me a definite answer but wondering on people's thoughts. I'm pretty much already expecting the worst following conversations I've had whilst in the hospital.
Thank you
