Results over the phone

Hi, I’ve never done this before but I’m really worried about my husband. He had kidney cancer at Christmas and had his kidney and adrenal gland removed. His results said his tumour had 10% sarcomatoid cells. He has had a bad foot for 2 months and has had a scan on it just over a week ago. He had an X-ray before and they said it had a lytic patch. He has a telephone appointment with the urologist tomorrow and the secretary called him today to remind him of the appointment. Do you think that they may have the results and will tell him over the phone if his cancer has come back in which case, should I stay home from work to be on the safe side?

  • Hi Lolly and welcome to the Cancer Chat community.

    I'm sorry no-one was able to get back to you before your husband had his telephone appointment the other day but I hope the phone call went well and you were able to find out about the x-ray results.

    If the discussion didn't bring good news, just remember we're here for you.

    Our nurses are also available for a chat or to help answer any questions playing on your mind on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Kind regards,
