Going private

Hi my mother in law is currently in hospital, she’s had a X-ray and c.t scan done, which they are saying it’s looking like cancer in liver and on her chest, they won’t do biopsy’s for at least another 2 weeks. 
she is going out of her mind with worry! Is it possible for her to go private for a biopsy and pay for this? So we all know what’s what? 

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat, and thank you for posting, Angel2k.
    I’m sorry to hear what your mother-in-law is going through.
    Waiting for answers when there’s already been talk of cancer can be incredibly difficult, and it’s completely understandable that she’s feeling out of her mind with worry.
    You’ve asked a good question, and while I can’t give medical advice, I hope others here who’ve been through something similar will come along and share what they did. Some people do explore private options to speed things up, so you’re definitely not alone in thinking about that.
    If you or your mother-in-law would like to talk things through with someone, our nurses are available on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
    I hope this helps a little.
    All the best to you both,
