We questioned the ND also. And it looks like medicine is moving away from ND becasue of the results of the chemo/rad. But is sure was nice, on Feb 2, 2005 when my med onc came into my room and said the results of the pathology were negative.
The ND was the easiiest part of the treatment. From the lititure available at the time, my wife and I thought it was needed tro get clean pathology.
