how fast does grade 2 breast cancer spread


how fast does grade 2 breast cancer spread?
My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. There was a slightly swollen lymph node in her armpit that tested positive as well. She has idc and dcis (both apparently in the same tumor). The tumor is 2 cm and grade 2. My question is what are the chances the cancer has metasized to her bones and organs?

The tumor grade determines its aggressiveness but it canĂ¢€™t be used to predict how far the cancer has spread. She will need a bone and PET scan for that.
2 :
It is possible that is has spread but it is likely still treatable. It also depends on the type of cancer she has.
