2022 Stage IV Retreat Calendar
In 2016, Casting for Recovery launched a retreat program exclusively for women with Stage IV (metastatic) breast cancer. Recognizing that women with advanced stage disease have specific needs, CfR has continued to expand their Stage IV retreats to serve more women. In 2022 there will be Stage IV retreats in Colorado’s front range, Georgia, and Texas.
These retreats are for women who have breast cancer that has spread beyond the breast and nearby lymph nodes to other parts of your body.
