The background to this being that I was recalled for further breast screening, after a routine invitation for a mammogram. I attended, was given more scans which led to being seen by a doctor for ultrasound and a biopsy, I was told I have a smallish tumour (75%) sure. Then informed by breast care nurse to come back 2 weeks later for the result. This involves a four hour round trip as these services are not available where we live. I really don't have a problem, obviously with attending for this marvellous service, but would I be unreasonable to ring/email to ask if I can have the results by phone, if that is all the appointment is for? It would save a bit of wear and tear on me tbh. I will be travelling thereafter for surgery and any follow ups, i.e radiotherapy. Anyone with experience of what the "result" appointment involves other than the result, which has already been strongly indicated to me? Thanks.
