What Causes A Pea Sized Lump On The Rectum?

I have had a pea size lump on mastoid for a few weeks now and one smaller lump just above it. I am only worried because I am 6 years in remission for vuvlar cancer that had spread to the rectum. I had all lymph nodes removed in my groin and a partial vulvectomy as well as 2 kinds of chemo and radiation all at the same time. It was a very aggressive treatment and the after effects are terrible. . I have not seen my OBGYN/ONC in a few years but will be seeing her this March.Should I worry about these lumps or is it just my body fighting off a virus. ?.
