Yearly check up

Hi Jan, scanxiety is so real.  Any tests make me very nervous now.  My last mammogram/ultrasound something similar happened.  The girl spent A LOT of time measuring and going over some spots a few times - I am just about wetting myself.  I asked her and she said she's not allowed to say anything.  Luckily my docs surgery rang that afternoon to confirm my apt and I told her about it.  The results were already there and she told me all was well.  So number 1 couldn't they at least say "you will get a call within so many hours if there is a problem" or something similar.  And why do docs ring you and say come down to surgery straight away - but won't tell you on phone what is wrong?  To me I think I would rather know the bad news straight away - then arrange the docs apt - maybe with partner or friend in tow.  They say they need to be with you when they impart the news - I say I'd rather be at home and have the opportunity to take it in and get a friend / partner if I need them.  One of the above times just after treatment finished, the GP got her receptionist to ring me to come down straight away - I totally panicked and off I went - and had a (luckily minor) car accident - to the news that I had a thyroid problem???
