Hi You can wait and watch. But if you still feel doubtful you can do and get yourself evaluated by a good surgeon or oncologist.

Under the present circumstances I would suggest wait and watch. The chance of recurrence is high. You need to get it operated as soon as you notice it. Having said this a clinical examination is a must. I can't give a definite opinion without examination.
