Any other sarcoma of ovary survivors?

i was diagnosed with "ovarian cancer" in 04, and i am now in remission. it was germ cell tumor, pnet, sarcoma, teratoma and yolk sac tumor all in my ovary. it's very rare, so i was wondering if anyone heard of it? they say i have 11% 5 yr survival rate. what does that mean? that i only have 11% chance of living past 5 yrs or making it to 5 yrs? please help me understand!

I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer-3C- in April of 05 and am in remission. There was no spread to nodes or other organs. I had a very common cancer and am unfamilar with the one you had. To be honest, I did not come right out and ask about the survival odds. Statistics are just numbers. Every woman is different and any prognosis has to take into account that fact. Supposedly, I found from reading, since ovarian cancer tends to recur, the chance of surviving five years is about 24% BUT my oncologist said 80% of cancers of my type respond favorably to chemotherapy. So, take your choice-I prefer to believe I'll beat it. How about you????
