7 y/o pug with mast cell tumor question

I have a Pug who is almost 7 years old. He has had a Mast Cell Tumor for approximately 5 years. It was never diagnosed until last Fall. It was not explained to me the severity of the tumor and it was cost prohibitive to have it removed at the time. I have recently talked with another vet and done research myself to learn more about this type of tumor. My dog has never experienced any adverse symptoms like those I read about and acts like any happy healthy Pug.
My new vet strongly recommends removing the tumor. My concern is that by doing so it will disturb the tumor causing problems that may not have existed in the past. He’s lived with it this long without problems, should I mess with it or leave it alone?
Thank you in advance for your response.
