hi
you will need radiotherapy in the form of pelvic EBRT and vaginal brachytherapy along with chemotherapy. node positivity indicates bad prognosis but because you have only one node positivity (and i suppose para aortic nodes are negative) you have better prognosis among stage III. prognosis and recurrence depends on grade and type of tumour also. Endometrioid variety has better prognosis than adenocarcinoma than clear cell than undifferentiated types. grade 3 obviously has poor prognosis. if endometrioid grade1 stageIII then 5yr survival rate is around 70%. but other variants grade3 stgIII 5yr surv rate around 50% only.
