My Dad's doctors told him his cancer didn't return only to call a few hours later to say they looked at wrong lab results
For context, my dad got diagnosed with cancer in October last year and then went through chemo which he finished in January and things seemed fine at first, his lab results after chemo didn't show any remaining traces of the cancer and the whole family was very relieved, but a few weeks ago they found some back looking stuff on after doing another scan so they send some new samples to the lab which we were supposed to get the results of a few days ago but they didn't have them ready yet so my dad got them today. The doc said they didn't find anything malicious only dead and inflamed stuff as results from the chemo and everyone was so happy and relieved by the news, my dad cried tears of joy. But then a few hours later they called to say that unfortunately they looked at the old lab results from right after the chemo and we will have to wait a few more days for the actual results and I'm so fucking angry. My dad was so happy to be cancer free and they went and fucked up and destroyed all that happiness and hope. I understand accidents happen but I feel like things like that should be easily avoidable especially with serious matters like this. I just really hope the actual results won't be bad now...
