Cancer.org has a pdf from 2011:
Here is an excerpt that helps me see where the recurrence trends are:
What factors influence breast cancer survival?
Based on the most recent data, relative survival rates for women
diagnosed with breast cancer are:
•
89% at 5 years after diagnosis
•
82% after 10 years
•
77% after 15 years
Caution should be used when interpreting long-term survival
rates since they are based on the experience of women treated
using past therapies and do not ref lect recent improvements in
early detection or advances in treatment.

You are in the 7% that recur between 5 and 10 years, 5% recur between 10 and 15 years.
I can see why the vaccines are so important. Reducing recurrence rates by half would affect a large number of women. Lets hope we see at least one available within the next 3 to 5 years.
and Herceptin for Low expressors will likely have a positive reduction.
