My mom had a biopsy done for a spiculated 1.5 cm mass. The results came back as cancerous. She has been complaining about bone pain recently, but she has had some bone pain in the last few years. Is it possible that the cancer has spread to the bones, and how big does a mass have to be for it to spread? Additionally, how will they check if the cancer has spread before deciding on a lumpectomy or mastectomy?

It has been three months since the episode, and she is experiencing fatigue and shortness of breath with exertion again. How dire is her prognosis, and could she still live another 5, 10, or 15 years?
