I had an ultrasound/needle biopsy on a lump back at the start of December & chased the results last week. I've just had a phone call from general surgery to arrange an appt to discuss what can be done next week but no-one's actually told me the results. I should've asked the lady that called but I have severe anxiety when using the phone & can only just about manage to write down what they're saying, I'd have instantly forgotten when the appt was if I hadn't! The fact that it was gen. surgery calling & not my GP also threw me. I was gearing myself up for arguing for a referral to a surgeon given that it's not a tiny lump & is quite uncomfortable.
Does anyone have any idea whether the fact that it's gen. surgery is likely to be indicative of it not being cancer? I was assuming if anyone other than my GP rang then it would've been oncology.
I guess if they're scheduling another appt then my GP should now have my results so maybe I could ring them... Y'know, when I stop hyperventilating from the previous phonecall & get up the courage to speak to the scary receptionists who aren't exactly encouraging people to call for a chat at the moment!
