" Online test results are speeding up cancer treatment and diagnosis. Options for how you receive your diagnosis are also improving. Not every option will suit every individual, and patient choice is key.
If you received your test results online, or you have experience with receiving a diagnosis outside of the usual face-to-face consultation, we want to hear from you! "
