My husband's first post IMRT appointment is next week and I don't know what to expect. He had a partial tongue glossectamy and modified RND 12/14 (T2/N1) followed by 32X IMRT completed 3/21. He had far fewer difficulties with the treatment than most patients (good), but the pathology report from the surgery siad extracapsular spread was present in the lymph node (bad).

The ENT said 80% of recurrences happen in the first year. Are we likely to hear anything other than "no sign of cancer at this time?"
