In Women Do All Cancers Start From Breast Cancer?

I understand that theres a high chance in survival if you get reast cancer and its treated in time. But for those that its gone further and have cancer in other parts of the body, did they have breast cancer originally but didnt catch it in time?
A friend of the family died recently and had been fighting against cancer for years! She had ovarian cancer when they originally found it and I thought thats where it started but my mum said no she would have had breast cancer first, is that right? She also had it in her stomach and had a operation to remove it but was also in the bowel and that part was left. Im sure she had it in other places to, I dont remeber her saying she had breast cancer.
Please dont answer this if you really dont know and guessing.

When Triple Negative Breast Cancer Spreads To The Liver What Are The Chances Of Survival?

My friend was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer that spread to her liver, after a year of chemo (not consistent, she has low blood platelets so they had to get a grip on that first) she went for a body scan..the tumor in her liver grew 2 cm and they found two more small spots in her stomach. I am in denial I know, but what are her chances of actually beating this? I am researching, but I really can’t find ANY hopeful news. Is there any?
