Risk assessment

What do you think when you have 2 widely different risk of recurrence assessments from 2 different medical professionals?
I asked a prominent Breast CA nurse specialist from John's Hopkins what my risk of recurrence was and was told it was high. My own Onc (not specializing in BC), given the same info, says slight.
I know neither can ultimately know what will happen, but the huge difference is un-nerving, to say the least.
