          I live in Houston and go to MDA also.  My last CT/MRI scans were on Aug. 17 and then I saw Dr. P Hwu the next day to get the scan results.  That has been my experience.  Scans one day, Dr visit the next.  I am 3A and currently NED since Jan/2010.

              Yes – next day is my experience as well.  Hope you results are negative!
