David,

I did have a CT scan done. I have not seen the results as I will be going back to the Dr. in a few days. I asked the Dr. about the need for the ND and he explained to me while there is only a 30% chance (statistically) that it has spread to my Lymph Nodes he believes we should be agressive in the treatement, either ruling out (hopefully) or catching early any LN involvement. From everything I have read there seems to be a opinons for and against. I guess I would rather be aggrressive with the treatment and catch any LN involment early.

Thanks,

Tommy
