Waiting for results MDT

  1. Had scan and tests for passing blood clots in urine on the 24th April had a swollen kidney every thing found to be ok. But they found a insidental shadow neary spine so it went to MDT meeting on the 8th May . Found out last week by ringing up GP surgery as didn't receive any communication from the hospital . Rang consultants secatary inbetween   left message no answer back.  Rang last week after I found out about there being a MDT meeting someone answered said my consultant secatary is on holiday till this Monday and that I had been discharged from the urology service but couldn't tell me what happened in the MDT meeting and it would be explained in the discharge letter. Rang secartery yesterday left message as still no letters from Hospital or anything on app. Feeling frustrated. I do worry I had cancer 30 years ago in my mouth lost over half my upper jaw. They were very slow at getting back my results then. The consultant who finally  delt with it was brilliant but even he complained that I shouldn't have waited that long .
  • Hi there and thanks for the post

    I am sorry to hear that you are waiting for the results of the MDT and what may or may not need to happen next.

    This is understandably an unsettling and worrying time and I do hope you hear something soon.

    It sounds like you have done some chasing yourself so apart from putting in a complaint through the hospitals PALS department there isn't much more you can do.

    You said the secretary is now back from leave so hopefully you will hear something very soon.

    After your previous cancer diagnosis I can appreciate your concerns but there can be many reasons for shadows on scans that aren't anything as serious as cancer, so hang in there for now.

    You are welcome to come back to us anytime or if you prefer give us a call on 0808 800 4040, we're here weekdays 9-5.

    Wishing you all the best

    Naomi
