Can specialist nurse give me results if it's cancer?

I had my mammogram last week which was clear I am waiting on biopsy results, my return appointment is with specialist nurse can they tell me if it’s cancer or would it be a consultant? 

 

Thank you

  • Hi Traceg19,

    It is usually the doctor who arranged the biopsy who gives the results (more information here) - to be honest in this instance I'm not sure if the specialist nurse will give your results. If anyone else on the forum can advise further then hopefully they'll be along soon.

    Otherwise, if you'd like to ask one of our nurses, do feel free to post in the 'Ask the Nurses' section of Cancer Chat - or call 0808 800 4040.

    Wishing you all the best,
