I understand this might be an odd question, but is it only an oncologist that will deliver your potential cancer diagnosis? Would a Surgeon also be able to give this news?
I had thyroid cancer, so a bit different as I didn't really have an oncologist (I did see a radiation oncologist for the radioiodine treatment but wasn't even referred to her until after I had the surgery, so months after I was diagnosed) and it was the ENT who diagnosed me. I don't know about other forms of cancer, but I don't think you can read anything into how your appointment is with. I would imagine the appointment would be with the same person regardless of whether they are giving you good or bad news.
