Hello,
The given report confirms the diagnosis of breast cancer. Histologically it is a grade1 tumor and has got a relatively good prognosis.
You have to go for the IHC (immunohistochemistry) of the given specimen and further treatment will be based on IHC report.
Probably you will require chemotherapy/hormonal therapy based on IHC reports.
The surgery part is over and now you have to see an oncologist/radiation oncologist for further management.
Wishing all the best.

Generally chemotharp is required for a period of six months. In some centers duration and drugs may vary. Commonly drugs like doxorubicin is used.
Based on IHC additional drugs like tamoxifen is required for five years.
Radiation is also preferred by most of the physicians to prevent recurrence.
You can very well continue your routine activities. Keep in mind that you might face some side effects like hair loss and pain.
