Elizabeth Edwards' Family Gathers as Her Cancer Spreads
Elizabeth Edwards was surrounded by her family and friends in North Carolina late Monday as news came that her terminal cancer had spread to her liver.

They found it to late and apparently couldn't monitor it very well either...

Remember when you were so hung up on "finding the location of the cancer" and that Recaf could not locate the cancer in its diagnostic form.

Still looking for your answers. How in the world did breast cancer spread to the liver? Where else did it spread to?

Distant (metastatic): The cancer has spread from the breast to other parts of the body. Cancer tends to move into the lymphatic vessels in the breast. Most lymphatic vessels in the breast drain into lymph nodes in the armpit (axillary lymph nodes). One function of lymph nodes is to filter out and destroy abnormal or foreign cells, such as cancer cells. If cancer cells get past these lymph nodes, the cancer can spread anywhere in the body. Breast cancer can also spread through the bloodstream to other parts of the body. Breast cancer tends to spread to bones and the brain but can spread to any area, including the lungs, liver, skin, and scalp. Breast cancer can appear in these areas years or even decades after it is first diagnosed and treated. If the cancer has spread to one area, it probably has spread to other areas, even if it cannot be detected right away.
