Narcolepsy usually is a permanent condition, it doesn't go away. However, narcolepsy can be tricky to diagnose, and the MSLT doesn't always give clear-cut results. There are conditions similar to narcolepsy, such as idiopathic hypersomnia, that sometimes improve. Perhaps your doctor wants to repeat the MSLT because the diagnosis is unclear?
