Hi hard to say what the chances are as it depends on how clear a margin they got and if any cancer was found in lymph nodes. I didn’t gonthe surgery route I had 35 radiotherapy sessions and 2 chemo leaving surgery as a mop uo if needed it wasn’t needed. I couldn’t have surgerybtonstart with as one lymph node was too close to spine .

sorry can’t give any more info but if yiu do need radiotherapy it’s hard but if I can do it anyone can

Hi Richie 

Sorry you've joined the club  

I had 7 weeks radiotherapy snd 2 sessions if chemo . I won't lie as the weeks go by it gets hard. But if I can do it as a wimp I was 61 when diagnosed you can do if. The radiotherapy can cause mouth ulcers I had one full length of side of tongue. The first 10 are ok then the side effects start to ramp up. By weeks 3 end off  I couldn't effectively swallow medication or enough food and water si n g tube was fitted it was a life saver . Once treatment finished the radiotherapy keeps working for several weeks so recivery can be king. By 6 weeks after I improved  but dry mouth is a long lasting side effect  I have a blog where my experience s are along with links to others. 
I am now 3 years post radiotherapy and living my life   The side effects vary for all of us snd new ones keep popping up nothing you can't cope with.
