I have seen only a couple members go thru TORS surgey. From what I remember they did have success with this. You are lucky enough to have a choice of trying to beat this with TORS or chemo which would be only for pallitve care. I know it sounds strange saying you are lucky when you are dealing with a recurrence. I mean that you are very fortunate to be able to have a chance to recover from your treatment. Sadly not everyone gets this chance when facing a recurrence. I am a lucky prson too as I have gone thru OC 3 times and I am still here.
Best wishes with everything!
