Question
I HAVE BEEN THROUGH CHEMO AND STARTING RADIATION MY STAGE IS 2A AND NO LYMPH NODE INVOLVEMENT  DO YOU THINK ILL HAVE A REOCCURANCE AND WHAT CHANCES DO I HAVE FOR SURVIVAL
RATE

Answer
Well, oncology is moving forward all the time. That makes it more or less impossible to predict the future, especially in single cases like yours. Statistics works for big numbers, not for single cases where you either is a success or not. It seem however that you have reasonably good chances of being cured. But of course I can not promise anything.
