When a mass is removed from the body and sent to a pathologist does the patient have to be told by the dr even if it's benign?

Put it this way if the question was confusing. I had what I thought a salivary stone removed but the dr sent it to a pathologist because e said he’s supposed to. I canceled my followup because he removed what he said looked like a salivary stone. The secretary just called me and said I caant cancel the appointment he has to go over the pathologist report! I’m freaking out!!!! She said that even if it’s benign he can’t discuss is over the phone. I don’t believe that. Is that true? I’m a nervous wreck.
