Meeting with a consultant - does that mean it’s cancer?

A family member had a chest scan which showed something on her lung, she has since had a CT scan and has a meeting with a doctor on Monday. The particular doctor she's seeing specialises in cancer. Does that mean that's what she definitely has?

  • Hi NaturalBornWorrier and welcome to the forum. 

    Unfortunately I can't answer your question but our cancer nurses may be able to shed some light on this so if you'd like to see what they think you can give them a call on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5pm.

    Wishing your family member all the best on Monday.

    Kind regards,
