Invasive Ductal Carcinoma in SITU

(Dear Moderators, please allow me to post this under this topic aside from my reply in the other post)

The results are out. My mother had her excisional biopsy on 29/06 and the biopsy result were just out last 20/07 ( INSERT: it took longer for us to know the result because her doctor went to Europe). Anyway it says:

Breast, left, excision biopsy

INVASIVE DUCTAL CARCINOMA, NOTTINGHAM TUMOR GRADE 2

DUCTAL CARCINOMA IN SITU

POSITIVE IN PERITUMORAL LYMPHOVASCULAR INVASION

MARGINS OF EXCISION, NEGATIVE FOR TUMOR INVOLVEMENT

The above thing is the result and the doctor said its on its early stage? Can anybody confirm this? And as per their discussion, my mom have to undergo masectomy for the left and right to prevent the cancer cells from spreading in the near future. Lucky she is, the doctor said because it got detected the earliest. (Was it really early even though cancer cell are already present?)

Can anybody give us idea on this? Is masectomy the best possible option?

Thanks
