Chemo when you have a tumour is very different from having it in the hope of preventing recurrence. The 10% figure applies, roughly, to the women who to the best of everyone's knowledge have no tumour activity after their primary treatment.
If you haven't already asked your oncologist what difference chemo will make to your chances of avoiding recurrence, you should do so if you are interested and find out what applies to your individual circumstances.
To be honest, it had never occurred to me that people wouldn't ask. My apologies, I really think that you need to find out what applies to you personally before assuming you sit in the middle band of a pretty broad data set.
