Thank you all for responding to my previous message. All of you expressed very positive outcomes and encouragements. I agree, we pay the doctors too much not to listen to what they say and follow their direction. Especially when you have a very good team. I have decided to do all five of the nodes as long as he is right there and has me opened anyhow. I would hate to have to go back in 6 months from now and have it done again. So, thank you for your help with this. By the way, didn't mean to confuse anyone but I believe that there are 5 nodes in each side of the neck composed of many dozens of nodules. At least that is how it has been described to me. Nodes are clusters of nodules which is why people get confused because of free substitution of either term for the other. Regards, Kirk.

I will keep you in my prayers, keep your chin up and God Bless! Keep us up to date.
