Dear,
Radotherapy and chemotherapy are only choice for these type of tumors after surgery wherever applicable. A portion of the nervous system which has once been treated by radical Radiotherapy cannot be treated again by Radiotherapy as it can cause more damage. May be smaller supplimental dose of radiation can be tried. Life time is in the hands of nature but as long as there is remission of the disease one is safe.
