Maybe: People are referred to an oncologist for many reasons: family history of cancer, abnormal results found on lab tests, or a suspicion of an underlying cancer or blood disorder. The provider who referred you should have explained the reason to avoid causing you this worry! and you certainly have the right to ask. So ask why (or have a friend ask). That way you can be prepared for the appointment.
