The one and only reason we have been told to consider this is the size of the node remaining at the end of treatment. The studies are the upcoming five week post treatment CT and ultrasound guided FNA. We wanted to hear the first opinion before we set up a second opinion. Tomorrow we are going to work on setting up a second opinion. I guess everyone has a different view of what is acceptable as a risk. If the studies are definitive that there is active disease we won't hesitate.
