Information

Hi Ann and Maryanne,

For me the article is helpful information. I don't think of it as frightening or negative. Maybe down the road when additional information has been collected and counted, we will have more accurate information about the results of current therapies to support hopes and guesses -- or to make changes in our decisions about treatment. The extended time to recurrence can mean that more of us are likely to be around for the use of much better treatments by then. Knowing that later recurrences are possible can help some of us make the decision to take on or stay on recurrence prevention treatments now that we otherwise might think aren't really necessary.
