Seeing the consultant this time?

Hi all. Looking after my Mum with breast cancer and Alzheimer’s. Treatment is palliative, stage 4 and not curable.

We got a call today to rearrange her next appointment as her consultant wants to see her and is away when appointment was due. I appreciate that doesn’t sound sinister but we have seen registrars/nurses at outpatients for last 9 months and suddenly the consultant is adamant the appointment is with her. For context we are also waiting on mri results. I am already catastrophizing - am I right to expect bad news?

Do be brutally honest as I would rather be prepared
