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 there

    We we're given the initial results over the phone, then my husband was given a face to face appointment with an oncologist.

    His initial diagnosis was a very early cancer, but he was incredibly unlucky - and it is very very rare, that his cancer was unbelievably aggressive and spread very quickly to all parts of his body and he passed away in November of last year.

    I know that sounds incredibly scary, but please believe me it was also incredibly rare and even shocked the oncologists at the speed and ferocious of how it spread.

    I am sending you all the positive thoughts, luck and live in the world that should you get a diagnosis that you will be back on here very soon as one of the survivors ️

  • Hey did everything go okay for you on Wednesday - I have a call next Thursday to find out my biopsy results. Hope you are okay xx
