Sorry, I don't know the exact stats on that one, may be Spreedog our oncologist would know it. I can tell you it is rare to see it recur a second time. This is part of the nature of this disease in young people, when it does recur it is usually cured with the second round of treatment. You also do not mention how many years it has been, but the more time goes on the less likely a recurrence is.
Try not to worry. In time it will be just a bad memory.
Stomach Cancer Statistics
In this video, Hans Rosling shows that stomach cancer is rare in the poorest countries and the rate of this cancer reach a peak in middle income countries. When countries get still richer the frequency falls. This is in sharp contrast to breast and colon cancer that tend to increase in frequency as countries get richer and richer. The rate of stomach cancer has been especially high in Japan and China. In Japan, wide-spread screening programs using the Japanese endoscopy invention have contributed to reduced death rate in this cancer. Having seen the video you can look yourself in Gapminder World where the cancer data from IARC (International Agency for research on Cancer) is displayed as moving bubbles. is.gd - New cases of stomach cancer per 100 000 men (with size showing the total number of new cases of stomach cancer)
Video Rating: 5 / 5
