None of the above. I was told when I was on a busy train.

Husband told of Brain Tumour over phone. I saw the suspected Glioblastoma written on a discharge letter and started Google at home.

My wife and I were called on my cell phone while (while in waiting room) awaiting staple removal. Efficient? Yes. While would have been tough no matter how news was delivered, it was a difficult way to receive numbing, life altering news.
