General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

As you have a cancer history, such lump should be considered as a cancer recurrence. No doubt in that. And you should not wait with it. Please consult your oncologist or thoracic surgeon as soon as possible. The lump should be removed and tested for possible cancer.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
