Hi,

Kindly meet oncologists and get evaluated. With the previous history of lung cancer and have got treated earlier, you need to meet the doctor and get evaluated. They may suggest Ct scan thorax or PET ct scan to evaluated and then proceed. Please do not ignore the symptoms.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
