Would The Lymph Nodes Also Be Affected Due To Aggressive Cancer?

My sister has been diagnosed with stage 3 agressive cancer. Her node biopsy revealled that the cancer hasn't hit the nodes yet but it is in the duct and on its way. she had her mastectomy 6 weeks ago and are still waiting for chemo. What are the chances that the cancer has now gone into her lymph nodes?
