EastEnders spoilers follow.
EastEnders' Stuart Highway will learn his fate tonight (December 6) as he heads to the doctor's to get the results of his recent tests.
A big, new story for Stuart (Ricky Champ) began last week, when he decided to seek medical attention over a rash that had been plaguing him.
Following an examination, Stuart was alarmed to learn that the doctor had found a lump on his chest and needed him to undergo further tests to rule out breast cancer.
Stuart decided against sharing the worrying news with his wife Rainie, who remains in the dark over his possible prognosis in tonight's episode.
Rainie does notice Stuart acting shifty as he receives a text confirming his doctor’s appointment, but fails to get any answers from him.
Then, when Stuart helps Rocky with his bags as he returns from hospital, Sonia quickly guesses that something is up.

As Stuart heads to the doctors to get the results of his tests, he's gobsmacked to find out the truth.
Fans will have to wait and see what exactly Stuart is told, but it's fair to assume that the news won't be particularly good.
That's because he's soon drowning his sorrows at The Vic shortly after, much to the concern of Sonia – who decides to take him home.
Tuesday's (December 7) scenes will see Stuart confide in Sonia, a nurse, over the life-changing news he received from the doctor, but quickly rejects her attempts to help him.
Stuart also refuses to share his diagnosis with Rainie, who grows more suspicious of his behaviour towards the ends of the week.
EastEnders continues tonight (December 6) at 8pm on BBC One.
