Dear Diannalisi,
Breast cancer is metasized to spine most commanly. As she had ben on chemotherapy and radiotherapy, it might be due to chemoinduced and radition induced enterocolitis or proctitis. As mentioned constipation, it also could be due to the internal hemorroids. so it would better to have stool examination with occult blood and colonoscopy or protoscopy and endoscopy for the cause of bleeding.
