@mugs24cancer your post leaves me with some questions. Was your recurrence actually a second cancer? Was it local or regional or metastasis? What do you mean by "second recurrence"? Did you have cancer three times?
Was the 2% risk from an Oncotype Dx?
Did you have a lumpectomy the first time? How about the second time? Did you take tamoxifen the first time or did you decline treatment entirely?

I had a mastectomy the first time. The 2% risk was from Oncotyoe Dx. Anastrozole was prescribed and I took it with few side effects. Nine months later I felt a small lump at end of incision. Thought it was scar tissue but biopsy confirmed cancer. Had lumpectomy and then surgeon said to do chemo and radiation, no questions asked.
