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 hope everything comes back ok but just in case this can provide even a tiny bit of relief. I had a breast biopsy a couple of weeks ago that was discussed at an MDT meeting and mine was absolutely fine. 

    From what I gather every biopsy is discussed at an MDT, i think maybe its to discuss what was found and everyone is in agreement that it is ok or needs further treatment? Don’t quote me but i think it’s something like that. 

    Either was not everything discussed at an MDT meeting is bad. 

    Good Luck xx
