If a CT was done 3 months ago and that is when they were found and a CT still shows them there but no growth or even shrinking then I would go with doctor if he says to monitor and watch.
If during the past three months the lymphs have grown then I would push to get these evaluated now.
If these are the same doctors who treated you all along, I'm assuming you trust their judgement so that would weigh into the final decision as well.
Good luck
