I have concerns about this. It seems to me that even if someone did have cancer I doubt that the surgery would inform the person by text, so I am inclined to think that it was a malicious act rather than an error.
It looks like the first message is one that would be sent to a doctor or the surgery from a testing facility rather than anything which would be sent directly to a patient.
Not that that would necessarily rule out malicious intent at some point.

A New Year's Eve fireworks display had to be cancelled at the last minute to protect an Arctic walrus discovered in Scarborough.
The event was called off over fears it "could cause distress to the mammal".
Council leader Steve Siddons said he was disappointed but "the welfare of the walrus has to take precedence".
The walrus, which drew huge crowds after arriving on Saturday, is now believed to have headed out into the North Sea

It only came for the fireworks and left in the huff when there weren't any.

I'm turning into my mum and I'm not sure I should be allowed any more opinions on people until I've had a re-test.

Historian is up there with philosopher, theologian, and journalist among the most frequently claimed job title people frequently claim despite not having any credentials to do so or credibility among the people who have actually earned the right to call themselves that.

You do wonder how awful an area must be if its own residents liken it to a scorched hellscape:
