Things to consider
In general your chances of making it should be good. Keep in mind that alot of people are diagnosed at stage I, so even if they do well as a group, even a small percentage is alot of people.
Getting the best treatment possible improves the odds. Although there are still no guarantees of success unfortunately, some of the research that people in the chatroom are taking part in, such as the vaccine research, will help reduce the risk of recurrence even further. Other research will improve future treatments so people with secondaries can live good lives longer and hopefully will eventually lead to a cure.
If you find that the board is filling you with worry, you might try avoiding threads that you know are likely to be upsetting. Your cancer might never come back and even if it did come back, so much progress is being made against the disease that it might be just a chronic disease by then.
