Hi okay so you haven't had a recurrence right? I think you said you had surgery - there was a lot of involvement and they decided on rads and chemo too. Try not to worry - they removed the primary tumor and surrounding tissue, and some nodes. Then cooked Anything left over - that's as good as it gets! smile do myth k
Now how many nodes were removed? Now many were involved? And where your primary tumor was? And finally are you HPV + - answers to all of these questions should ease your mind - hugs!
