Based upon this thread it seems that no oncologist will take a guess, educated as it might be, about recurrence. Mine included. I have told my doctor that I am aware of the reality of my aggressive disease (clear cell endometrial) and we have briefly discussed the limited treatment options currently available, especially with my “bad” biomarkers. (I follow the onc-Gyn conference research). My brain says that if the cancer returns I’m dead, so I fight that fear every day, which is not always easy.

As an aside, my father had cancer and when I went with him to an appointment he asked the oncologist how long he would have to live if he did not get a recommended treatment. His oncologist said that he could not answer that, because he was not god. My father became insistent and forced the doctor to answer. He was told two years. My father survived 17 years without a recurrence and died of other causes. So maybe I - and all of us - will be this lucky. 🤞
