Has anybody ever heard of breast cancer recurring to the bladder/kidneys?
hi there. Just wondering if anyone has ever heard of breast cancer recurring to the bladder/kidneys? Been fighting a UTI for 2+ weeks now and am on my fourth round of antibiotics. It is not unusual for me to get these (1-2 per year x 20 years), but it is unusual for the meds not to work right away. If this one doesnt work, the nasty testing begins  I know that this is not a common site for recurrence, but just wondering........
