Hi and welcome to Healthcare magic.Thank you for the query.
It seems like you are lucky that it was discovered in early phase. So it should be removed and if malignant, you need to do frequent check ups in next 1 year. If there are no signs of extension or positive axilar lymph nodes,you dont have to be concerned. There wnt be any serious consequances.
Wish you good health. Regards
