breast cancer moving

hello, my name is lisa.  my sister was diagnosed w/breast cancer 3 1/2 yrs ago.  she went through chemo and was good for a while.  she then noticed a lump in her neck at work and went for a cat scan.  her cancer had moved to her arm pit and neck.  she went through another series of chemo and her next cat scan showed she now had spots on her liver.  she has been treated for these spots in the liver only to find out they grew and multiplied.  now she wont share anything with me.  I called tonight and she told me she had ballooned 25 lbs and had a terrible body odor along with being very yellow with back pain.  what should I do?  Is she not telling me the truth.  Is it really as bad as I am reading?  Someone please guide me.

It seems as though your sister's cancer metastasized...meaning it spread.  If she has "ballooned" 25 pounds and is very yellow it sounds as though the liver or kidneys may be failing.  Is she under a doctor's care currently?
