Stage IV Retreat Schedule
In 2021, we will not be holding any Stage IV-specific retreats. Women with advanced breast cancer are welcome to apply to the traditional retreat that is closest to where they live.
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. We have held Stage IV retreats in Colorado, Georgia, Indiana and Texas, with California in development.
We will not be holding Stage IV retreats in 2021, but we plan to return in 2022. For 2021, if you have Stage IV breast cancer and you have not previously attended a CfR retreat, you may apply for a traditional CfR retreat in your area by clicking on your state. Our traditional retreats are open to women of any age, in any stage of breast cancer treatment or recovery.
We will continue to expand our Stage IV retreats to new areas as we are able!
