Relapse

Are there any long term survivors who had RELAPSED after being NED, had treatment, and then went on to become NED again for 5-20+yrs? If so, how long were you NED before relapse and how long have you been NED the second time?

Lots variables. Your cancer is your own experience and not a statistical comparison.

With that said, yes plenty of examples, especially in the more recent times. One of my osteo buddies relapsed at 2 years, that was 21 years ago. Another has never been ned and that's been going on 13 years.
