What the oncologist said.

Finally went to see the oncologist in Chapel Hill and hear what he had to say.  Basically he said chemo would not benefit me unless I just wanted to do it.  Uh.....NO!  Been there, done that.....hated it.  He did tell me something that I didn't realize.  Because I had a local recurrence within 5 years there is a 40% chance that the cancer will return again.  It won't recur in the breast tissue but it would be somewhere else in the body.  However, that being said.....that means there is a 60% chance that it won't come back, right?
