Hi
I’m stressing yet again about this telephone appointment, I’m guessing it’s about the scan which I had in November. Would they give bad news in a call or not? I went this month for tongue biopsy results but they did have to prescribe medicine for the lichen planus.
Also I’ve got this breast lump appointment to come….
I just want to hear of other experiences.

Usually not.
It seems a long time to report a scan I must say.

I can’t help but think that a scan taking three months to report can’t be reporting g anything serious.

Hi like Dani I wouldn’t think they would be giving bad news over the phone after a 3 month period in time. It’s so unfair sometimes medical staff forget we are humans with worries and fears.
