Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having direct inguinal hernia.
At this age due to lax abdominal and pelvic floor muscle one gets hernia.
There might be possibility of having enlarged inguinal lymph node as well./
Nothing to worry about cancer.
Consult surgeon and get examined.
Ok and take care.
