I had 2 affected nodes. I also went to 5, count them, 5 different docs and 3 wanted to do a ND and my last, Moffitt, a CCC, said no way Jose, the IMRT will take care of the cancer so I didn't have a ND and I'm am SOOOOOOO glad I went to 5 docs and SOOOOOOO glad I ended up with Moffitt and I'm SOOOOOOO glad I didn't have a ND.
