@brooklyn22 p.s. 1 more thing: don't forget that while people throw around all the statistics like 5% this, 10% that, those are guesses. Nothing more. And lifestyle (diet, exercise, weight) makes a huge difference, beyond any of the medical predictions! There is much that we can control about our own health! And that's a powerful thing!

@jmab I agree with you that there’s so much we can do to control our own health. I can’t seem to lose any weight no matter what I do, but I walk 2 to 3 miles a day and I’m trying to watch what I eat. Also do some Pilates and yoga. As far as the recurrence rate these aren't guesses—they are highly calculated estimates based on scientific genomic testing. They are backed by years of clinical trial data, which is why doctors rely on them to tailor our treatments so precisely.
