Thanks for checking in. No MRI results yet. Still feel in the dark. The radiologist was pleasant but couldn’t tell me anything. Waiting for appt on the 9th. Is my experience of waiting with no feedback typical?

Hello @chm64 - Yes, unfortunately, it does seem to be typical. However, if you want to have your results, all you have to do is request the document(s). It does seem too easy, doesn't it? Well, actually it is easy! By law (HIPAA), we all have a right to most of our medical records. Such as those you would generally want:
- https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-individuals/guidance-materials-for-consumers/index.html

I get all my test results, including Breast MRI results, the very next day, and yes, I use this law. I just have to fill in and sign a HIPAA release form and I receive the records immediately. No wait. Each office/hospital has its own forms.

Hope this helps!

HUGS,
