Would a Cancer diagnosis be given over the phone?

Hi there 

After a biopsy last Monday and being told it was cancerous, but radiotherapy would sort it out, my husband was given an appointment for a face to face appt for the definitive results of the biopsy and subsequent CT scan.

This has been changed to a phone appt - the day is the same.

I'm thinking it will be positive, perhaps not cancer?  Would he get a cancer diagnosis over the phone?

  • Hi. I was given both mine face to face. The initial diagnosis after the first biopsy and also face to face for the results of my lymph node biopsy. Both were cancer.

    My thoughts would be bad news face to face always with cancer.

    A phone consultation maybe not?

    Hope all goes well for you.
