Is it bad news?

So my partner found a lump in his next last April (2020) he left it a few months before ringing drs about it. They did bloods which came back normal. He has a scan in January this year and they said it looked normal but to come back on 6 weeks for another scan. So he went back and lump still there said it had grown 7mm but again looked normal. Said to be safe they would refer back to gp for a biopsy. He has the biopsy 15 days ago, he got a letter yesterday morning with an appointment for next Wednesday however later in the day the hospital rang saying they had a "cancellation" for today but he declined due to short notice and his work being understaffed. 
 

so my question is as they have asked him to go in for his results and tried getting him in sooner is this a Sign that it is cancer (they where testing for Lymphoma) or is this normal practice whether positive or negative? Or am I just overthinking. TIA

  • Hi again Lauren, how are you doing?

    Just to say that my GP rang me at 7.30 am this morning. You can imagine the extreme shock and total panic (I actually lost the use of my legs!!) but it turned out he was delivering better news- bloods I had done to test for tumour markers have come back negative. So I wanted to reaffirm that the out-of-hours unusual communications can also be for good reasons, it's not always to deliver bad news. I also was thinking that if your partners news was bad they would have insisted on him coming in...

    Take care and please let us know how you get on?

  • Thank you so much. Bag of nerves today for tomorrow. Will update tomorrow
