Sorry, I made a mistake here: for Stage 1 the risk of dying from Breastcancer is about 2% in the first 5 years. Risk of recurrence is higher. I need to look that up.

I found an online calculator that may shed some light: http://www.lifemath.net/ However, I have no idea whether this is trustworthy info. I just googled it, and as we know, not everything online represents solid info.

Love

Jacqueline
