I'm sorry but this sounds incredibly implausible to me. I didn't want to say it before but every time you post, I become more suspicious. You're mom told you that you have cancer? You STILL don't know anything? You're waiting a MONTH to go to see oncologists? This just doesn't make any sense to me. 

That's why I asked how old he was.

#1 If you are over the age of 18, according to HIPAA they are not allowed to provide that information to anyone except you, unless consented in writing.
#2 They would not tell you have cancer "over the phone".

That's why I asked NT back when this thread first started. Someone responded but I already knew the answer. I just didn't want to rock the boat.

I don't believe him either. 
1. Given his likely age, there are only a few hepatic cancers (aka malignant tumors) that he could possibly have. Hepatic tumor? More plausible. Not nearly as big of a deal though.

2. If he's at least 18, it is a HIPAA violation for the physician to notify his mother instead of him. Maybe he gave explicit instructions to allow his mother to be informed of his health. However, it's highly unlikely that the physician would not speak with him also.

3. Follow-up a month later? No chance in hell. I can't think of a hepatic malignancy that isn't highly aggressive. You would be at radiology the next day getting imaging if possible.

4. Cancer over the phone? No.

So yeah, if I'm wrong then call me an %!%. But the story is ridiculous.

He's either a liar or just misinformed about what he has. Maybe he heard tumor. Tumor does not mean cancer.

" So my Mom goes in my room and asks me a couple of questions about my day. "
After further investigation he is young, his mom asked about his day.

My mom could careless about my day.

He already said he didn't know everything.

Just wait till he comes back, no use of calling OP a liar.

they won't destroy cancer but these with the proper diet can make going through chemo less of a nightmare.

but uhhhh OP might be fibbing?

@ thinking someone wouldn't lie about cancer.

I'm 22, like my profile says. I haven't drank alcohol since freshman year of college - about 4 years ago. And why would I lie about having cancer.

I gave my mom consent a couple of months ago to have access to all my medical records. And the reason why it's taking so long to see a doctor is because my stepdad lost his job a couple of months ago, so instead of going to Kaiser Permanente, I have to go to a state/government run hospital that takes FOREVER to see patients. I remember having a bad cough and it literally took them 6 hours just to check my blood pressure and ask general questions. It took about 8 hours total for me to be released with a prescription.

And I don't need kicks or money, your support and prayers are good enough.

I would have given my mother consent too, initially Id rather hear bad news from her than a Doctor.

Are you looking for another insurance company?

I can't change my insurance until my stepdad gets his insurance from Northrop Grumman (his new job). And I remember the doctors had a nurse take an X-ray of my ribs because I was having rib pain with the cough.
