From what I have read and the various testing I have done, recurrence risk continues to go up with hormonal cancers. It is not a situation where we can say phew, I made it 7 years so I must be okay. I mean, of course we put it on the back burner as much as we can. I dislike the term "cancer survivor" for that reason. Some of us haven't had stage 4 yet. Stage 4 is what you survive or don't survive. Check graphs on the Oncotype or other testing to see what I mean. The curve of recurrence goes up.
