Very upset and confused by last topic posted

I find the last topic from AlaskaAngel very disturbing. If this study has truth to it, then how can we explain survival rates in node negative, T1 patients or similar dx. reaching 10 year reoccurrence free percentages of 91-93%? Or the promising prognosis of other early stages (85%) for example. And these are based on fairly old statistics considering the new advances in treatment. Many of these statistics come from women followed in the late 70's and 80's. Although I realize we have to deal in reality and truth, it seems that some of these studies just serve to scare us to death. It is very frightening to hear that chemo only "postpones" reoccurrence and survivorship without reoccurrence doesn't seem to indicate that at all.

Any thoughts anyone?
