Referral to TAC Colorectal Dr.

Hi. So I was given an appointment today to see a Dr on Wednesday for a TAC colorectal. I should have asked more questions but didn't and now I'm panicking that it may be cancer. I had a colonoscopy about 2 weeks ago and two biopsies were taken. Any information would be appreciated. Also is it an oncologist who would diagnose cancer or can a specialist at the hospital do this? 

  • Hi Will1678,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. To be honest it is difficult to advise on this as it is really only those involved in your care who can do this. Do of course take the opportunity to ask any questions you have at the start of your appointment on Wednesday, so you can understand what's happening.

    If in advance of that you'd like to talk to someone, you are welcome to give our nurses a call. You can reach them on 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

    Wishing you all the best,
