Being informed about anything untoward. Do I need to get in touch or will I be contacted?

Hello, I was diagnosed with anemia six months ago, recently i had a endoscopy and there is a lesion on my upper GI tract.  I am waiting for the biopsy results. My question is , if anything untoward was found, does my doctor inform me or do I get contacted by the hospital, thank you .
