What Is The Recurrence Time For Breast Cancer?
I have breast cancer. I had a lumpectomy 1 year ago this month stage llA estrogen + HER - and have done no other treatments. I am letting nature take its course. I have lymph involvement (1 hot lymph at time of surgery). Could you guesstimate a recurrence time ? I don't expect a miracle answer just a guess.

Welcome to health care magic.
Sorry for what you are going through.
Its completely an individual criteria for reccurence, depending on once immunity status and extention of the disease process ( liver, lungs, brain and so on).
The mass lesion itself also plays its role - involvement of chest wall, lumph nodal enlargement, vascular ivasion. ( that will also depends on the reccurence).
So i would suggest get through investigations and treat accordingly, take good immunity care and self strength. Good luck.
