Discussed at mdt?

Hi, I am looking for advice regarding why it means to have biopsy results discussed at the MDT meeting please?

I attended the breast clinic last week with a lump in the outer, upper quadrant of my left breast. It is a fixed marble sized lump which is solid and palpable. I was sent for the ultrasound where it was graded as U3 and I had 3 core biopsies taken. I went back to see the consultant who booked in a telephone call for next week. I called on Friday to see if there had been any results yet and the secretary advised that I was scheduled for discussion on that afternoons MDT meeting and they couldn’t discuss my results but would be in touch. It has now worried me as everything I have seen regarding MDT is in relation to formulating treatment plans for new cancer diagnosis’ 

I know I am likely just being overly anxious but it’s really stressed me out since hearing it as there isn’t much information other than relating to cancer that I have seen.

thank you for taking the time to read my post x x

    I just read your post again regarding your biopsy and U3 thete is no way of knowing until the biopsy comes back if this is going to be bad news , I think they can sort of tell you what they think it is but can’t ever be sure until that biopsy comes back from the lab .try not to worry all the worrying in the world is not going to change a single thing  , do not google this makes things a million times worse my lovely xx

    Hi Lara, thank you for your reply! It makes me feel a lot better, I know that I need to just chill out with the Googling and wait and see what they say on Wednesday, I think I’m just so nervous I’m terrible with waiting for things as I let myself dwell on the worst case scenario. X x

    Morning, I have just called the secretaries to see if there was any change to my scheduled telephone call booked for Wednesday following the MDT meeting on Friday and she said at the moment it is all still on for Wednesday morning to I am taking that as a positive that it has not been changed to an in person appointment, here is hoping it stays that way as I cant imagine they would deliver negative results over the phone x
