Ok, now I understand. Sorry.
I was also Stage 1 but the location of mine made me do the radiation and chemo. Then it came back and I ended up having surgery, but it was no where near what it would have been in the beginning.
Consider yourself very lucky to have had only surgery. Much easier on the body to recover from than rad and chemo.
