Hi, a MDT is a multiple team of people involved in your case discussing the way forward and if any treatment is required, so for example the consultant, nursing staff, reports will be discussed and decisions made suitable to your case.  So they may decide to keep checking up on you even though the tumours are benign, better to be kept updated and that you haven't slipped through the net!  Good luck, Carol 

Hi,

Thank you for your reply was just cureous what they was actually for and if they thought maybe it was cancer on that scan? So do a group of specialist look at your scans and discuss what they think they are. I barley get any info from my consultant just very vague letters really. But he mentioned on a call once that it had being discussed in two MDT meetings and nothing sinister. X

Yea it's to discuss all the scans and reports and you should receive notification of what they decide. Usually we receive a copy of the letter sent to our GP. 

Thank you. I always get major anxiety when my follow ups are due thinking maybe it was wrong and actually cancer. But I'm sure if it's being discussed in a MDT by a group of people should be fine I just wasn't sure what a MDT was x

I can understand that it must be hard for you. 

Hello there

As Dor06 has explained mdt stands for multi disciplinary team where all the specialists come together to look at patients test results and plan the best way forward in terms of follow up or treatment. It sounds the team are closely monitoring your situation and keeping an eye on things.

If indeed there comes a time they see a change and want to investigate further or decide to offer you some treatment they will discuss this with you and what needs to happen next.

Just to say often a series of different tests are needed to make a definite diagnosis however there are features that can be seen and assessed on scans that they like to monitor at regular intervals and this often happens.

I appreciate waiting and not knowing can be unnerving but hopefully you'll know more soon.

Wishing you all the best

Take care

Naomi

Hi,

this was my previous scan six months a go it was discussed in two MDT both hospitals agreed they're benign and a follow up in six months time and then should be discharged. I just wasn't sure what a MDT was even for. And with me getting pain a lot in the liver and nobody really seems interested I was just hoping it was a group of people that decided this and it is actually benign 

Hi , hope you are well. How are you doing now?

Hi,

yes fine thank you still waiting for my follow up MRI then hopefully be discharged 

Glad you are well! Did you have any symptoms? If you don't mind me asking. I'm having discomfort under ribs and I'm waiting on a scan? Thank you!
