Hello,
I second Rebecca's comment. recurrence doesn't mean death. I had a recurrence 5 years out but I wasn't given Herceptin at that time and now it's 10 years since my first diagnosis. I think some of this stats are old. Also why can't you be in the 20%? exercise and keep positive and above all, enjoy life. Don't worry about the future, it's here soon enough! So many new and better drugs are coming out that soon cancer may be totally curable.
hugs and love
sarah
