Cancer scare

Hi, I was referred for a two week federal and 2 weeks later I had a ct scan. I never heard anything until after 4 weeks I called the consultants secretary who told me I was booked in for a pet ct scan. 2 weeks after it and now I'm told they're having a mdt meeting but I haven't actually spoken to any one. I'm worried

  • Welcome to the forum Vyse although I'm sorry for the worry and stress this is causing.

    I hope it helps to know that a Multi Disciplinary Team (MDT) meeting is where different health professionals meet to discuss patients results and what next steps, if any, need to be taken. It's not just cancer cases that are discussed, but also ones where a decision needs to be made about whether more tests need to be carried out so try not to panic or think the worst until you know more.

    Hopefully someone will be in touch with you soon, but if you're worried don't be afraid of getting back in touch with your consultant's secretary or your GP to find out more.

    Waiting for news is always tough but our community are here for you and will hopefully be along soon to offer their support and advice.

    Kind regards,
