Hi all 

I had a partial nephrectomy a couple of weeks ago and today I've been given a follow up telephone appointment for results in a weeks time. 

Before the surgery I was told there's an 80% chance it's cancer. They tried to do a biopsy a couple of months ago but had to stop as the awkward position of the tumour was making it risky.

So I was really happy that I've been given a telephone rather than in person appointment and I convinced myself this could mean my tumour was benign and no more follow up needed.

Now I'm wondering if I'm just fooling myself? I'm under the Royal Free in London.  Can I read anything positive into the fact my follow up is by telephone?
