So, Audrey, you had a lumpectomy, followed by chemo? I'm surprised you didn't have radiation, as well. Kidney stones can't turn into cancer; and pain on your left side wouldn't be an indication of breast cancer that's metastasized, I don't think. Breast cancer spreads to the lungs, liver, bones, and brain, generally speaking. But unless you've been specifically diagnosed with kidney stones—proven by some tests—I'd go back to your doctor and insist on knowing for sure what that pain in your side is, just to make sure it's not anything to do with cancer. Good luck - PJH
