Totally. I think that is why the docs are confused. I "shouldn't" have this, so they want to treat to kill stuff just in case, even if there isn't a clear need, like the lymph nodes being fine on the scan. I am glad I can read here to get more information. It at least enables me to understand what they are saying, and not saying.
