Hello 

what an awful time for you all. I’m wondering if the clinic in which your mum had her scan is a combined clinic where the consultant and sonography work together. One does the scan then your mum may have moved straight to the consultants room with the result. My mum had a similar experience with a breast mammogram  in a “one stop shop kind of clinic “ she went on to see the consultant about 15 mins later with the result already available.

i imagine your mum may have seen a specialist nurse as they are often in these clinics to help answer any questions your mum may have had? I don’t know but I don’t think the size of tumour is related to if it has spread. Your mum may need additional scans to assess if it’s the kind that spreads. I imagine you are thinking about all sorts of scenarios right now which must be very scary and distressing. It’s that awful waiting game of scans and results and appointments.

i really hope your mum does well , I’m sure she is in good hands.
