        I'm new here, stage 3a and just underwent radical axillary lymph node dissection. I am so thankful you posted! My doctor tells me my prognosis is pretty good, but it's hard to believe sometimes. Hearing from people who are NED as long as your husband gives me great hope. Congratulations on your new lices!

                    I guess I thought that the CLND would somehow decrease my chances of further disease by removing any potential affected nodes. 

                    I am just really scared and feel like I can't make a proper decision about this.

                          I guess I just thought that having the surgery would somehow increase my chances of survival by removing any potential current disease in my lymph nodes, preventing them from circulating and colonizing in my body. 

                          I'm just having a very hard time with this. I'm scared and feel like I can't make a proper decision.
