Does anyone have a high risk mutation that cause the cancer to come out of remission much quicker?

I was just told that I have a high risk mutation known as translocation 1416 that causes the cancer to come out of remission quicker. I thought I was getting some good news about it being stage 2 but unfortunately the high risk mutation has a huge effect on everything apparently.
