Brief Answer:
It can be cured

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

This is a curable scenario. The lump is small and even though it is cancer, chances of cure are very high.

Most likely you will need to undergo a breast conservation surgery followed by radiotherapy. Depending upon final histopathology report after surgery, you may need further treatment like hormone therapy or chemotherapy.

Hope this helps.
Regards
