Hello I'm new here and just after a bit of advice. Apologies if this is not the right place to post.
I had a persistent lump in my tongue and was referred to the head and neck clinic at hospital. After an examination by the doctor they said unlikely to be cancer but wanted to carry out a biopsy which happened just a week later. At the biopsy they again said unlikely to be cancer but of course would be tested. They asked if I would be happy to just get results over the phone and I said yes.
Just six days later I was called and told I had a face to face follow up in three weeks. A few hours later that afternoon I was told that had been brought forward by almost two weeks. Having since had written confirmation of the appointment via email I can see it is now described as "face to face follow up urgent".
So, I know there's no definitive answers until I actually have the results appointment but the fact they made it face to face instead of over the phone, brought it forward by a fortnight and have marked it as "urgent" all seem highly indicative to me that this isn't going to be good news.
Has anybody had a similar experience in getting their biopsy results with acceleration and urgency?
Despite this I'm still over a week away from the actual results appointment and I'm spiralling badly. I don't know how to keep things together and act 'normal' for another week in front of my family and at work. Any advice would be really appreciated.
