Awaiting blood test and US scan results

My daughter was seen on a 2ww appointment with Haematology and had lots of blood tests done. She has now had a letter from the hospital informing her of a telephone appointment in 3 weeks time. She is only 17 and I am really worried that they may break bad news to her over the phone. An initial scan did show a slightly enlarged spleen and abnormal liver blood test results. Would they discuss cancer concerns over the phone with someone so young?

  • Hello Welshycob,

    I can understand how you're feeling and when you worry about cancer, it can be natural to think the worst, but this can end up increasing anxiety rather than making you feel better. I hope the telephone appointment goes ok and please encourage your daughter and to ask questions if she feels the need to. These tips here might be useful in the meantime.

    Best wishes,
