Hi there!
I would contact the a clinical nurse specialist if you have their number or find out the consultant who ordered the tests secretary's numbrr to ask the consultant to contact you to explain the diagnosis.
If you don't have a contact number then speak to your GP who should be able to provide you with a telephone number of someone who could help you to better understand the information.
Kind regards
