Honestly, how the results are given doesn't tell you anything. I was told one result would be given over the phone, then after the scan got a letter asking me to come in. I freaked and phoned them and it turned out the scan was completely clear.

My mother had a doctor ring her and we thought "well, can't be too serious or he'd call her in" and it was bowel xancer that had spread to the liver.

It could be anything and it is very tempting to try and guess from when the appointment is or whether it's in person or over the phone but really, those things can be down to an individual doctor's preference or they had a cancellation and decided to squeeze you in or any one of a whole paid of things unrelated to what the result is.

Best of luck. I hope you get good news.

HiTootsuite,

A very warm welcome to our forum.

I am sorry to hear of your anxiety. Most doctors prefer to give news of any kind in person. However, some centres are extremely busy and have to resort to letters or phone calls. I sincerely hope that all goes well tomorrow and that nothing untoward is detected. Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Hi

I had my appointment with the Consultant on Friday following the bone scan & ultrasound. He said that 1 hot spot has shown up on the bone scan. It’s 1 spot on the end of 1 rib. They aren’t sure what it is but he said it’s not consistent with the triple negative breast cancer that I had and it’s unusual for it to be just 1 spot if it is cancer so he sent me for a CT scan which I had yesterday. He did ask if I’d bumped the area or fallen which could be a cause but no I haven’t. Then I thought could it be caused from the breast surgery I had or from the radiotherapy? All sorts of things are going through my head. I’m hoping to get the results next week and it’s good news.
