Even a small cancer can be aggressive, if it's invasive you've upped the risk. For every day a cancer exists there is the potential for it to spread to the lymphnodes (and at microscopic levels cancer cannot be detected on a scan. Once it reaches the nodes it becomes a higher stage and much more dangerous. I would seriously consider getting a second opinion.
best of luck.
