Reddy,RN Jun 2, 2005 I'm not sure I understand the question. if "began at 4" means the cancer wasn't found until stage 4 then maybe the following will be helpful. I found it by googling "stage iv breast cancer."http://patient.cancerconsultants.com/breast_cancer_treatment.aspx?id=664hope this helps 0 Likes
