I had no cancer in the lymph nodes my surgeon recommended having an ND. The reason he gave me is cancer cells start out small and by the time a scan picks it up it's the size of a marble. I'd rather be safe than sorry later. Nothing to an ND he made the cut in the crease of my neck it can't be seen, yes I'm old:)
Take care, Connie
