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?

  • Sorry to hear the news and also sorry to say that my confirmation of prostate cancer was by telephone, I was told it was due to Covid and also was not given any details on that phone call of what was going to happen next.  i.e. no details of treatment or when it would start. I subsequently paid for 2 private appointments to obtain further information over the next 2 to 3 weeks but both of these ended up as phone calls.
