Lee, I'm the type of person that would want to KNOW if the cancer is gone in my neck. Not sure the scans would give me that level of comfort that the ND would give me. I had the ND and would choose to do the same if had to do it over again. I don't like wondering about things, I like to KNOW. Good luck with the decision!
