Unusual areas for progression

The four main areas breast cancer invades are breast, bones, liver, brain and lungs. Although rare it can move to other organs and areas. Has your cancer progressed to an unusual area of the body?

  1. I was first diagnosed with MBC with a tumor on my adrenal gland. My oncologist says that it's rare, probably not because it doesn't happen, but because it has already spread elsewhere before it's caught. Mine was found looking for a kidney stone.

    1. I follow a fellow cancer friend on Instagram that posts about her journey with the same cancer. It’s so wildly rare, but it’s important to get the word out there! I’m so glad you found it and got the answers you needed.


      If you want to give her a follow, her Instagram handle is pheovsfabulous. She’s incredible!

  2. I’ve never heard of that, so it must be rare. Good thing they we’re looking for a kidney stone or it may have not been found. Thanks for sharing. Stacie M-Team member
