Hi,
I had a modified radical node dissection they took out 28 nodes. It left a lot of scarring but it is commonly done to check if nodes are cancerous. I'm glad I had it done, the nodes were clear. If they weren't clear I would have had radiation and or chemo and at least known of the cancer. A must!
