Hello and thanks for your post,

We have information on our website which explains the stages of follicular cancer which you can see here

I am not a pathologist but what I understand is that V1 relates to the actual location of specific lymph nodes in your neck when they were dissected, and the R1 is related to the actual surgery itself, and whether there is a possibility of microscopic residual tumour after surgery.  

Do talk to your doctors about this and what this means for you in terms of follow up care moving forward. 

You may also find it helpful to look at the information by The Follicular Lymphoma Foundation which you can see here

I hope this helps.

Do get back to us or give us a ring if we can help with anything else. Our number is 0808 800 4040.

Best wishes,

Catherine
