This has puzzled me since I was given a leaflet by a gynae nurse in June. Under the heading The Multidisciplinary Team is the following: When you have a diagnosis of cancer, a team of health professionals, known as the Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) will manage your care. The MDT is made up of a number of health professionals which include  a consultant histopathologist, consultant radiologists, medical consultant oncologists, surgeons and nurse specialists.

etc.

Thank you for the reply Mary, that’s what worried me, whatever I had read about it was in relation to working out treatment plans for new cancer diagnosis/ongoing treatment plans etc so it made me wonder if them needing to discuss my results at the mdt meeting meant they have found something that requires treatment x x

Exactly. It is scary. However, I have not had a diagnosis yet so I don't think I should even have been given that leaflet which has worried me ever since. I shall keep my fingers crossed for you.

Ah I hope you get answers soon too, the waiting is totally the worst! X x

Morning, I have just called the secretaries to see if there was any change to my scheduled telephone call booked for Wednesday following the MDT meeting on Friday and she said at the moment it is all still on for Wednesday morning to I am taking that as a positive that it has not been changed to an in person appointment, here is hoping it stays that way as I cant imagine they would deliver negative results over the phone x

I was told that no results are given over the 'phone, but maybe it varies in different areas.

Good luck for Wednesday.

Becs sounds promising xxx I got all crossed for you x 

Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

Thank you both, I’m feeling really positive that as it is a telephone call it should be good news and I will pop back with an update in the morning :) x

Good luck becs xx 

Hi Bec,

Here's hoping that you get favourable news tomorrow.

I shall be thinking of you tomorrow and keeping my fingers crossed.

Kind regards,

Hi Mary,

The MDT team discuss all cases, whatever the outcome, before the patient is given any results.

These clinics try to keep you as informed as possible, although there are those who would rather not have too many details. Most consultants prefer to give all results in person, but some clinics are so busy, that this isn't always possible. There have been instances where both good and bad news has been delivered in this way.

I hope that all turns out well for you and that you don't have much longer to wait for your results.

Kind regards,
