‘Urgent’ appointment for results. Bad news?

Hello. I’m new here so I’m not really sure if I’m posting in the right place. Sorry if I’m not, but I really wanted some advice.

A week ago I had a bone biopsy to check for possible bone mets that was inconclusive on scans. I’ve had a call to go in for a (according to the secretary) ‘urgent’ appointment during clinic next week. Does this guarantee that it’s going to be bad news? I’m desperately hoping ‘urgent’ also means ‘last minute’ because I didn’t have an appointment booked in to get my results, but...I don’t know. Right now my head is spinning and I’ve convinced myself it has to be bad news. It’s just the use of the word ‘urgent’ that’s throwing me off.

  • Hi Bookworm and welcome to the forum.

    I think it's only natural to worry when the word urgent is involved but if you can try not to jump to any conclusions until you've had the appointment.

    I know that's much easier said than done but hopefully some of our members who have been in simialr situations will be along soon to offer their support and advice.

    Our cancer nurses are available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m if you'd like to have a chat with them about this as well.

    Fingers crossed all turns out o.k when the time comes.

    Kind regards,
