I had breast cancer three yrs ago. The oncologist said there is a 10% chance it may come back in other breast.

cancer is a disease that you really can't predict because different type of cancers take different actions and treatments and you can't tell which way they are going to go. only the doctors can do that and then some times they don't know. some times they say that you are clear in one place like your friend and then it comes back in another palce..
