MDT

Hi! 2 weeks a go i was told by my endocrine doctor my fna results came back as suspected papillary thyroid cancer he told me i was referred to MDT 2 weeks referral when i didn't hear anything back i called the secretary she told me i wasn't on the list may be I'll be on the list for next week but can't guarantee if I'll be on the list, MDT meeting happens every Tuesday. I suffer from anxiety and this has been really hard on me, i feel like I've been messed around with it, it took them over 8 months to do fna then over 2 month for my results because my results where sent to a different hospital i called nearly every week to see if my results had came back but secretary kept telling me there chasing it up finally they got it back and now I'm having to to wait for MDT meeting when the doctor told me it's a 2 week referral so why is it taking them long now.

  • Hi Shadna,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to hear you've been waiting so long to get answers. It sounds like you're doing the right thing by chasing it up. You can of course keep doing this, and explain that you have been set certain expectations for timescales, and hopefully you'll hear more soon.

    If you feel you'd like to talk things through with someone at all, you are welcome to give our nurses a call. You can reach them on 0808 800 4040 (Monday-Friday, 9-5).

    I hope it's not too much longer to wait to get the information you need.

    Wishing you all the best,
