      Hello I am new to this group, diagnosed Apr 25. I had a Wide excision mid back and a SLNB in both arms on June 30.  Ulcerated 7.75mm superficial spreading.  One lymph node on each side was positive with less than 5 %. My doctor is recommending a CLND.  I am having a hard time with this decision.  My MRI of my brain and CT scan of my lungs and stomach area are clear.  Any insight from others in my situation would be much appreciated.
