@Garnet7
Five was the norm when I started out however further studies have concluded that ten years is a better option.  As noted by @Afraser it may also depend on your type of cancer.

Here's a link from the BCNA website talking about the 5 and 10 year, maybe that will help you for questions for your Medical team

Best wishes with your ongoing treatment
Take care
