Stage 2 or 3C Endometrial Cancer? No lymph node samplingli

Hi, 

I got my post operation report last week. The doctor said that I have Stage 2 endometrial cancer. Initially, before the operation, it was thought to be grade 1 so no MRI was done and no lymph node sampling was performed during the surgery. Now the doctor told me it is grade 2 stage 2 with extension to the cervix. 

I am going to have radiotherapy in January but I am worried that my cancer may have spread to the lymph nodes but it was not examined during and after the surgery. 

Does anyone have the same worry?
