Is The Diagnosis Of Osteosarcoma In Doubt?

Hi-- I am a nurse... so therefore I always tend to think the worst case scenerio. My friend's daughter is 13-- recently diagnosed with Osteosarcoma of the humerus. She was immediately sent to the hosp. for treatment. Chemo-- and biopsy-- then sent home for 2 weeks to return with second round of chemo and surgery. From what I have been told-- the doctors may? have disagreed on original diagnosis.. (All this is second hand-- which as a nurse-- I cannot stand!) The doctors called my friend and said that they want her to come to their office (scheduled 2 days after she was to go back into the hosp. for the above stated.) Could this be bad or good? I know the answer is 50/50%.. but just wanted to hear your thoughts....
