hypoechoic nodule

Five years ago had TAH-BSO for uterine CA.  After the surgery the pathology report indicated  "lymphatic space invasion".  I underwent external beam radiation and brachia therapy at the time.  Recently, during a routine physical my GP noticed a lump on the side of my neck and ordered an ultrasound which identified a 7.2x7x7mm hypoechoic nodule in the right lobe.  The right lobe is approximately double the size of the left.  
My question is:  given the history of lympathic/vascular space invasion from my previous cancer experience, is the risk greater or is the past problem insignificant.

thanks
