        That is a nice report on the article!  Thanks for sharing.  I posted the abstract and associated info here (for those who are interested):  http://chaoticallypreciselifeloveandmelanoma.blogspot.com/search?q=CLND  

        Important stuff.  Similar to you, I had two CLND's (2003 and 2007).  Though there is ever so much we do not know about melanoma, we've learned a lot since then!  Thank goodness.  My best to you!

            Thanks Celeste…and to you!  I remember my first consult with Dr. Coit at MSK.  At the time he offered the two options: surgery or “wait and watch”.  My reaction to the latter was something like “wait and watch, my a**”!  My thinking at the t8me was if there’s anything in there, I want it out!  Luckily for me I didn’t suffer any side effects from the CLND.  I,will occasionally get a little swelling if I sit around too long or if I’m in all-day meetings.  That quickly resolves fortunately.  If I had this conclusive data I might have taken a different path.  In any case, the topic of CLND seems to be one of the FAQs of many new members, so I thought I would post.   I always read your contributions and find them extraordinarily helpful!  Happy New Year C!
