As far aS I understand it's stage 1 unless if ahe has any other symptoms pertaining to other systems.The grading is 3.But good point here is ER PR Positive ,so treatable relatively easily.Starrt her treatment ASAP as per your Oncologist planning and boost her morale ,tell her that her disease is treatable though it is difficult to go through the agony of surgery chemo and radiations.And later on anti estrogen therapy will help reduce all the chances of cancer coming back.

Do follow your doctor's advice.
