Oh David, I know you trust the Moffitt H&N docs as well as we do and I have mentioned that I really liked Trotti--liked him even better when he assured us that he knew our local RO and that we would be more than OK getting rads here.

I guess we both need to mention that those doctors do a very thorough exam by way of scope and just feeling with their hands--so they use a combination of scans and tactile measurments. Interesting though that there seems to be an individual approach to what scans are ordered. When you do find out, I would be interested in knowing Trotti's answer.
