I am currently waiting for my 4th lot of biopsy results to hopefully finally confirm whether a rectal tumour is malignant or still at the pre cancerous stage (high grade dysplasia confirmed three times but all biopsies so far fallen short of confirming malignancy). Every time I get a phone call from the colorectal nursing team after the MDT meeting to tell me the position and give me an appointment at clinic to speak to the consultant in detail on next steps. The first thing I was asked by the nursing team was whether I wanted to know results over the phone or wait until clinic so I would say speak up and tell them how you want to be dealt with. You are the patient and it’s up to you. Hope you get a good result when it comes.
