My brother in law and a good friend both have had surgery for this exact same diagnosis and both were Dx'd. and Tx.'d over 15 years ago. They get checked regularly but only one had another spot removed 8 years ago. My BIL passed away last year from Alzheimer's and my friend is hale and hardy. I don't think there is a big worry here as most catch this early and I think treatment is wonderfully successful.
