Hello All,

Can anyone tell me what my chances of having a reoccurance of my Oropharynx cancer? I was a stage 4, with no lymph node involement and no metasistas and the ENT didn't get all the cancer cut out due to the location near or on the carthoid arterery.

They hoped that the IMRT would have killed off any remaining cancer cells. But they really don't know for sure if the radiation did that.

Having survived this far post surgery(5 months) without any signs of a reoccurance really doesn't tell me much does it?

I need to know what my chances of long term survival is? Is this something only God can answer?

When patients have a reoccurance what is the normal time frame and where does it reoccur most often?

Thanks for the help in advance. This is on my mind alot and is affecting my daily life.
