Radiation or not after surgery for endometrial cancer?

Just FYI had borderline suspicious high grade endometrial abnormalities in 2003. Had a vaginal hysterectomy (my ovaries were already gone due to cystic problems) that fall. Spent less than 24 hrs in hospital - my surgery was later that day or I would have asked to go that evening!
Easiest surgery I have ever had and my only discomfort was my chronic back pain exacerbated by surgery position.
Everything was negative and I have had no further issues after many years of gyn followup visits.

@wisco50 This is good to know. That you for posting your success here. Like you I had a radical hysterectomy and my only incisions were for the laparoscope and to remove sentinel nodes for testing. I was out of the hospital by the end of the day. I just returned from a gyn followup surveillance exam and all is NED (no evidence of disease). I'm grateful for the excellent care I received at Mayo when I had the hysterectomy and for these follow-up exams.

Adding an addendum - I was a hospital RN, got 2 GYN opinions from well respected MDs where I worked and I knew the people who referred me to one who did surgery and other one was a female gyn I had worked with extensively.
