Don't get your expectations up - you may more disturbed after your scan for all of the reasons that Brian outlined. None of my MRI's gave me ANY piece of mind, actually exacerbating my fears. It all turned out to be NOTHING and I hope and pray that yours will as well.
Maybe this is why the NCCN guidelines don't recommend any post Tx scans except for an annual chest x-ray?!
