How sad that at stage 1 she has had no treatment. My FATHER was a stage 3, and he has lasted neraly 14 years so far! Less than 5 years for her.

Honestly speaking it is very difficult to state actual survival in individual case. Every patient and disease behave differently biologically. In this case ca. is in early stage and to take therapy is highly advisable cause not many cases get detected in stage 1. Prognosis is good if therapy is followed.

No doctor can ever predict the future - especially with cancers - though we are asked to do this every day. If she is old ( how old ?), she may die of natural causes before the breast cancer progresses to affect her health. I do not see why she would refuse a simple lumpectomy, but maybe she is very old. We have so little medical information here. Her doctor has all of her medical history and has examined her. That is the person to ask. I've seen people with advanced breast cancers live for many years
