“5 year survival” starts at diagnosis or when therapy ends?

I would be careful about conclusions on survival rate using online predictors that don't include ER, PR. HER2 and genomic test results (Oncotype, Mammaprint, Breast Cancer Index, Prosigna). My "predict" survival rate is lower than that given to me by those various tests based on my actual tumor pathology specimens. Still online programs like this can give a ballpark. Just don't go by them.

I’ll go by however many days my good Lord gives me. It’s a tool, one of several that can be used for guidance. I personally use prayer more for guidance.
