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

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,

I’m going through same I had tonsillectomy 4 weeks ago and now my biopsy results have gone to mdt and then seeing surgeon Tues 

Hi Jamtan01,

Please don't worry about your results going to an MDT meeting. This is normal practice with all results, irrespective of the findings. This is always an anxious wait and  I am glad to see that you don't have much longer to wait before you get the results. Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on om Tuesday. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for good news. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

thank you for the reply it’s just getting on top of

me

now surgeon /consultant has changed times as he needs as he has demanded to se me face to face i’m so nervous but thank you for the reply going through the tonsilrctomy

ive never felt pain like it 

Hi Jamtan01

I was only 4 when I had my tonsils out, but I believe that this procedure is a lot more painful when you are an adult. I am sorry to hear that your appointment has been changed and I hope that you don't have much longer to wait. It is only natural to feel anxious, but irrespective of how the results turn out, you'll feel better once you know.

Kind regards,

hi thank you for taking the time to reply my appointment is today yes i’ve never felt pain like it i wouldn’t wish it on my worse enemy again thank you for the reply 

Hi Jamtan01,

I am glad to see that you have now had your results appointment and I hope that it went well. How is your throat feeling now after your surgery? - I hope that it has settled down. Please keep in touch and let us know how things are going.

Kind regards,

no wasn’t the results i expected got

micro cancer cells

in neck so 6 weeks of radiotherapy 5 days aweek got to have 4 teeth out first at maxifacial i’m dreading it im just hopimg they put me to sleep when they remove them x still everything taste horror had a strawberry and cream frappe from costas ties tasted awful just want everything to taste nice now 

Hi Jamtan01,

I am so sorry to hear this. Six weeks of radiotherapy should fly by, when you are attending 5 days a week. I hope that will zap these rogue cells and that there will be no need for any further treatment. I am sure that the maxillofacial team will give you a general anaesthetic if you ask them. Hopefully food will begin to taste better once you have these teeth out. Do you have a date for either or both of these procedures yet?

It will take some time for all this to sink in, but please remember that we are always here for you.

Kind regards,
