Raised PSA, Negative on MRI for Prostate, but why have a MDT

Hello,

 

My dad is 79 and has raised PSA levels for his prostate, becasue of this he has yearly MRI scans - In the last week he had the results of his latest MRI scan by phone, the consultant said he was in the clear.  Just 5 days after receiving this news he got a phone call from the urology department saying that they are holding an MDT meeting for him and would like to see him next week - We are now worried that he has had a mis-diagnosis, or else why would they need to see him again after being given the all clear?

 

Has anybody else been through this, why would they call him up again when he's only just been cleared from his MRI.

 

Thank you for reading,

 

from a very worried daughter

  • Hi Mypooroldmum,

    I can certainly understand your concerns about this, and I can see that it seems a little confusing.

    It's very hard to say why they want to see him - I can only say that I hope it's not long for you to wait to find out more about this.

    Hopefully you'll receive further replies soon, particularly if others have similar experience to share.

    Wishing you all the best,
