Hi Alaska Angel, glad to hear you're doing well almost 3 years after your diagnosis--I am coming up on my 4-year anniversary of bc diagnosis with no recurrence..I did get one year of Herceptin after A/C and Taxol...anyway, I was curious about the statistic you mentioned that 17% of recurrences occur within the first 5 years, leaving 83% of recurrences happening more than 5 years after original diagnosis...I would be very interested to know where you got this information, as it is surprising to me and it goes against what I thought to be true--that MOST bc recurrences occur within 2-3 years after the initial treatment ends and that there is a significant drop-off after 5 years....I think this stat. is in the latest issue of CURE magazine...anyway, could you please share with us where you got this information??? Thanks, Audrey
