Bad news on CT scan

Yesterday the nurse called and gave me a report that everything was clear on the scan results but the doctor wanted to see me in 3 months and to have another CT scan because of a small spot that was probably a cyst. I got my report this morning...shows I have another mass in my remaining kidney plus a malignant neoplasm in the bone. I cannot believe she gave me a clear sign and then I read this! But, to not see the urologist until 3 months later. Are they crazy? I have left word for this nurse to call me back. I want a referral ASAP with an oncologist.

    It says malignant neoplasm in

    It says malignant neoplasm in bone on the report? That's a very unusual thing to dictate without prior bone biopsy or PET scan.

    I know

    The CT scan report doesn't even give the dimensions of the kidney mass like it did for my first mass.
