I had 30 rounds of radiation because of 4 lymph nodes being involved. I found the radiation treatment to be very painful, much more so than my surgery.

But, I'm now 7 years out, with no recurrence. Taste and smell are normal. The only real side effect I still have is more fatigue than I would consider normal.

I don't regret doing it because I felt it was better to do everything possible than to wonder if I had done enough.
