I would like to say i had breast cancer 14 years ago and i have had no recurrence .I took tamoxifen and had radio therapy and all is well.
NO THAT IS NOT TRUE! Many women are CURED of breast cancer with no reoccurences. Either you were reading an absurd and very false article or and most likley you just probably mis interepreted it.
I can only give you the answer I gave when you asked this same question earlier.
No it does not always recur.
But the fact is that it CAN recur at any time, even after years have passed. This may be what the articles you have read are saying. Recurrences are most likely to happen within two years of treatment. You are statistically less likely to have a recurrence once five years have passed, but NO doctor will tell you that you are cancer-free.
There is no ‘all-clear’ with breast cancer. I am delighted to be four years from diagnosis, but I know I will never be free of the fear of recurrence or metastasis.
That said, many women live the rest of their long lives without any recurrence of breast cancer..
