Durable remission with chemo alone for recurrence anybody?

Need to hear some uplifting stories today. Is it even possible to achieve a durable remission (1 year or longer) doing chemo alone without surgery, or chemo first, followed by surgery for a 2nd recurrence? I am 5 years out from 1st recurrence and I know the statistics regarding remissions getting shorter and shorter, but has anybody broken the mold?
